/**
 * SECTION:gstbus
 * @short_description: Asynchronous message bus subsystem
 * @see_also: #GstMessage, #GstElement
 *
 * The #GstBus is an object responsible for delivering #GstMessages in
 * a first-in first-out way from the streaming threads to the application.
 * 
 * Since the application typically only wants to deal with delivery of these
 * messages from one thread, the GstBus will marshall the messages between
 * different threads. This is important since the actual streaming of media
 * is done in another thread than the application.
 * 
 * The GstBus provides support for #GSource based notifications. This makes it
 * possible to handle the delivery in the glib mainloop.
 * 
 * A message is posted on the bus with the gst_bus_post() method. With the
 * gst_bus_peek() and _pop() methods one can look at or retrieve a previously
 * posted message.
 * 
 * The bus can be polled with the gst_bus_poll() method. This methods blocks
 * up to the specified timeout value until one of the specified messages types
 * is posted on the bus. The application can then _pop() the messages from the
 * bus to handle them.
 * Alternatively the application can register an asynchronous bus handler using
 * gst_bus_add_watch_full() orgst_bus_add_watch(). This handler will receive
 * messages a short while after they have been posted.
 * 
 * It is also possible to get messages from the bus without any thread 
 * marshalling with the gst_bus_set_sync_handler() method. This makes it
 * possible to react to a message in the same thread that posted the
 * message on the bus. This should only be used if the application is able
 * to deal with messages from different threads.
 *
 * It is important to make sure that every message is popped from the bus at
 * some point in time. Otherwise it will be presented to the watches (#GSource
 * elements) again and again. One way to implement it is having one watch with a
 * low priority (see gst_add_watch_full()) that pops all messages.
 * 
 * Every #GstPipeline has one bus.
