/**
 * SECTION:gstbin
 * @short_description: Base class and element that can contain other elements
 *
 * #GstBin is an element that can contain other #GstElement, allowing them to be
 * managed as a group.
 * Pads from the child elements can be ghosted to the bin, see #GstGhostPad.
 * This makes the bin look like any other elements and enables creation of
 * higher-level abstraction elements.
 *
 * A new #GstBin is created with gst_bin_new(). Use a #GstPipeline instead if you
 * want to create a toplevel bin because a normal bin doesn't have a bus or
 * handle clock distribution of its own.
 *
 * After the bin has been created you will typically add elements to it with
 * gst_bin_add(). You can remove elements with gst_bin_remove().
 *
 * An element can be retrieved from a bin with gst_bin_get_by_name(), using the
 * elements name. gst_bin_get_by_name_recurse_up() is mainly used for internal
 * purposes and will query the parent bins when the element is not found in the
 * current bin.
 *
 * An iterator of elements in a bin can be retrieved with
 * gst_bin_iterate_elements(). Various other iterators exist to retrieve the
 * elements in a bin.
 *
 * gst_object_unref() is used to drop your reference to the bin.
 *
 * The #GstBin::element-added signal is fired whenever a new element is added to
 * the bin. Likewise the #GstBin::element-removed signal is fired whenever an
 * element is removed from the bin.
 *
 * <refsect2><title>Notes</title>
 * <para>
 * A #GstBin internally intercepts every #GstMessage posted by its children and
 * implements the following default behaviour for each of them:
 * <variablelist>
 *   <varlistentry>
 *     <term>GST_MESSAGE_EOS</term>
 *     <listitem><para>This message is only posted by sinks in the PLAYING
 *     state. If all sinks posted the EOS message, this bin will post and EOS
 *     message upwards.</para></listitem>
 *   </varlistentry>
 *   <varlistentry>
 *     <term>GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_START</term>
 *     <listitem><para>just collected and never forwarded upwards.
 *     The messages are used to decide when all elements have completed playback
 *     of their segment.</para></listitem>

 *   <varlistentry>
 *     <term>GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE</term>
 *     <listitem><para> Is posted by #GstBin when all elements that posted
 *     a SEGMENT_START have posted a SEGMENT_DONE.</para></listitem>
 *   </varlistentry>
 *   <varlistentry>
 *     <term>GST_MESSAGE_DURATION</term>
 *     <listitem><para> Is posted by an element that detected a change
 *     in the stream duration. The default bin behaviour is to clear any
 *     cached duration values so that the next duration query will perform
 *     a full duration recalculation. The duration change is posted to the
 *     application so that it can refetch the new duration with a duration
 *     query.
 *     </para></listitem>
 *   </varlistentry>
 *   <varlistentry>
 *     <term>GST_MESSAGE_CLOCK_LOST</term>
 *     <listitem><para> This message is posted by an element when it
 *     can no longer provide a clock. The default bin behaviour is to
 *     check if the lost clock was the one provided by the bin. If so and
 *     the bin is currently in the PLAYING state, the message is forwarded to
 *     the bin parent.
 *     This message is also generated when a clock provider is removed from
 *     the bin. If this message is received by the application, it should
 *     PAUSE the pipeline and set it back to PLAYING to force a new clock
 *     distribution.
 *     </para></listitem>
 *   </varlistentry>
 *   <varlistentry>
 *     <term>GST_MESSAGE_CLOCK_PROVIDE</term>
 *     <listitem><para> This message is generated when an element
 *     can provide a clock. This mostly happens when a new clock
 *     provider is added to the bin. The default behaviour of the bin is to
 *     mark the currently selected clock as dirty, which will perform a clock
 *     recalculation the next time the bin is asked to provide a clock.
 *     This message is never sent tot the application but is forwarded to
 *     the parent of the bin.

 * A #GstBin implements the following default behaviour for answering to a

 *   <varlistentry>
 *     <term>GST_QUERY_DURATION</term>
 *     <listitem><para>If the query has been asked before with the same format
 *     and the bin is a toplevel bin (ie. has no parent),
 *     use the cached previous value. If no previous value was cached, the
 *     query is sent to all sink elements in the bin and the MAXIMUM of all
 *     values is returned. If the bin is a toplevel bin the value is cached.
 *     If no sinks are available in the bin, the query fails.
 *     </para></listitem>
 *   </varlistentry>
 *   <varlistentry>
 *     <term>GST_QUERY_POSITION</term>
 *     <listitem><para>The query is sent to all sink elements in the bin and the
 *     MAXIMUM of all values is returned. If no sinks are available in the bin,
 *     the query fails.
 *     </para></listitem>
 *   </varlistentry>
 *   <varlistentry>
 *     <term>OTHERS</term>
 *     <listitem><para>the query is forwarded to all sink elements, the result
 *     of the first sink that answers the query successfully is returned. If no
 *     sink is in the bin, the query fails.</para></listitem>
 *   </varlistentry>
 * </variablelist>
 *
 * A #GstBin will by default forward any event sent to it to all sink elements.
 * If all the sinks return TRUE, the bin will also return TRUE, else FALSE is
 * returned. If no sinks are in the bin, the event handler will return TRUE.

/* handle child messages:
 *
 * This method is called synchronously when a child posts a message on
 * the internal bus.
 *
 * GST_MESSAGE_EOS: This message is only posted by sinks
 *     in the PLAYING state. If all sinks posted the EOS message, post
 *     one upwards.
 *
 * GST_MESSAGE_STATE_DIRTY: Deprecated
 *
 * GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_START: just collect, never forward upwards. If an
 *     element posts segment_start twice, only the last message is kept.
 *
 * GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE: replace SEGMENT_START message from same poster
 *     with the segment_done message. If there are no more segment_start
 *     messages, post segment_done message upwards.
 *
 * GST_MESSAGE_DURATION: remove all previously cached duration messages.
 *     Whenever someone performs a duration query on the bin, we store the
 *     result so we can answer it quicker the next time. Any element that
 *     changes its duration marks our cached values invalid.
 *     This message is also posted upwards. This is currently disabled
 *     because too many elements don't post DURATION messages when the
 *     duration changes.
 *
 * GST_MESSAGE_CLOCK_LOST: This message is posted by an element when it
 *     can no longer provide a clock. The default bin behaviour is to
 *     check if the lost clock was the one provided by the bin. If so and
 *     we are currently in the PLAYING state, we forward the message to
 *     our parent.
 *     This message is also generated when we remove a clock provider from
 *     a bin. If this message is received by the application, it should
 *     PAUSE the pipeline and set it back to PLAYING to force a new clock
 *     and a new base_time distribution.
 *
 * GST_MESSAGE_CLOCK_PROVIDE: This message is generated when an element
 *     can provide a clock. This mostly happens when we add a new clock
 *     provider to the bin. The default behaviour of the bin is to mark the
 *     currently selected clock as dirty, which will perform a clock
 *     recalculation the next time we are asked to provide a clock.
 *     This message is never sent to the application but is forwarded to
 *     the parent.
 *
 * GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_START: Create an internal ELEMENT message that stores
 *     the state of the element and the fact that the element will need a
 *     new base_time. This message is not forwarded to the application.
 *
 * GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_DONE: Find the internal ELEMENT message we kept for the
 *     element when it posted ASYNC_START. If all elements are done, post a
 *     ASYNC_DONE message to the parent.
 *
 * OTHER: post upwards.
