/**
* SECTION:gsterror
* @short_description: Categorized error messages
* @see_also: #GstMessage
*
* GStreamer elements can throw non-fatal warnings and fatal errors.
* Higher-level elements and applications can programatically filter
* the ones they are interested in or can recover from,
* and have a default handler handle the rest of them.
*
* The rest of this section will use the term <quote>error</quote>
* to mean both (non-fatal) warnings and (fatal) errors; they are treated
* similarly.
*
* Errors from elements are the combination of a #GError and a debug string.
* The #GError contains:
* - a domain type: CORE, LIBRARY, RESOURCE or STREAM
* - a code: an enum value specific to the domain
* - a translated, human-readable message
* - a non-translated additional debug string, which also contains
* - file and line information
*
* Elements do not have the context required to decide what to do with
* errors. As such, they should only inform about errors, and stop their
* processing. In short, an element doesn't know what it is being used for.
*
* It is the application or compound element using the given element that
* has more context about the use of the element. Errors can be received by
* listening to the #GstBus of the element/pipeline for #GstMessage objects with
* the type %GST_MESSAGE_ERROR or %GST_MESSAGE_WARNING. The thrown errors should
* be inspected, and filtered if appropriate.
*
* An application is expected to, by default, present the user with a
* dialog box (or an equivalent) showing the error message. The dialog
* should also allow a way to get at the additional debug information,
* so the user can provide bug reporting information.
*
* A compound element is expected to forward errors by default higher up
* the hierarchy; this is done by default in the same way as for other types
* of #GstMessage.
*
* When applications or compound elements trigger errors that they can
* recover from, they can filter out these errors and take appropriate action.
* For example, an application that gets an error from xvimagesink
* that indicates all XVideo ports are taken, the application can attempt
* to use another sink instead.
*
* Elements throw errors using the #GST_ELEMENT_ERROR convenience macro:
*
* <example>
* <title>Throwing an error</title>
* <programlisting>
* GST_ELEMENT_ERROR (src, RESOURCE, NOT_FOUND,
* (_("No file name specified for reading.")), (NULL));
* </programlisting>
* </example>
*
* Things to keep in mind:
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem><para>Don't go off inventing new error codes. The ones
* currently provided should be enough. If you find your type of error
* does not fit the current codes, you should use FAILED.</para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>Don't provide a message if the default one suffices.
* this keeps messages more uniform. Use (NULL) - not forgetting the
* parentheses.</para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>If you do supply a custom message, it should be
* marked for translation. The message should start with a capital
* and end with a period. The message should describe the error in short,
* in a human-readable form, and without any complex technical terms.
* A user interface will present this message as the first thing a user
* sees. Details, technical info, ... should go in the debug string.
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>The debug string can be as you like. Again, use (NULL)
* if there's nothing to add - file and line number will still be
* passed. #GST_ERROR_SYSTEM can be used as a shortcut to give
* debug information on a system call error.</para></listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
