/**
 * SECTION:gstvideocontext
 * @short_description: Interface to handle video library context
 *
 * The Video Context interface enable sharing video context (such as display
 * name, X11 Display, VA-API Display, etc) between neighboor elements and the
 * application.
 * <note>
 *   The GstVideoContext interface is unstable API and may change in future.
 *   One can define GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API to acknowledge and avoid this warning.
 * </note>
 *
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>For Element</title>
 * <para>
 *   This interface shall be implement by group of elements that need to share
 *   a specific video context (like VDPAU, LibVA, OpenGL elements) or by video
 *   sink in order to let the application select appropriate display information
 *   (like the X11 display name) when those sink are auto-plugged.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 *   Along with implementing the interface, elements will need to query
 *   neighboor elements or send message to the application when preparing
 *   the context (see gst_video_context_prepare()). They also need to reply
 *   to the neighboors element queries, so the context can be shared without
 *   the application help.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 *   Elements that are guarantied to have both upstream and downstream
 *   neighboors element implementing the #GstVideoContext (like the gloverlay
 *   element in gst-plugins-opengl) is not required to also implement the
 *   interface. Relying on neighboors query shall be sufficient (see
 *   gst_video_context_run_query()).
 * </para>
 * <para>
 *   The query is an application query with a structure name set to
 *   "prepare-video-context" and an array of supported video context types set
 *   in the field named "types". This query shall be send downstream and
 *   upstream, iterating the pads in order to find neighboors regardless of a
 *   static (sink to src) or a dynamic (src to sink) activation. Element should
 *   used the helpers method gst_video_context_prepare() (or
 *   gst_video_context_run_query() if no GstVideoContext interface) to
 *   correctly execute the query . The result is set using the query helper
 *   functions, the structures fields name being "video-context-type" as
 *   string and "video-context" as a #GValue.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 *   If the query is not handled by any neighboor, the element should ask the
 *   application using the "prepare-video-context" message. The application
 *   may then use the interface to set the video context information. If no
 *   context was set, the element shall create one using default configuration.
 *   Elements with multiple src or sink pad shall implement proper locking to
 *   prevent the race of parallel queries being replied.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 *   Well known video-context are: "x11-display-name" a string representing the
 *   X11 display to use, "x11-display" the X11 Display structure, "va-display",
 *   the VADisplay structure and more.
 * </para>
 * </refsect2>
 *
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>For Application</title>
 * <para>
 *   In the case there is no neighboor element with video context to share,
 *   the element will first turn toward the application, by sending a
 *   "prepare-video-context" message. This message is sent along with a list
 *   of supported display types. The application can optionally reply to this
 *   message by calling appropriate setter through the #GstVideoContext
 *   interface. If the application supports more then one video context type,
 *   it should choose the first one to occure in the supported list. It's
 *   important to remember that the message is delivered from the streaming
 *   thread, and appropriate locking should be considered. If the application
 *   does not have a video context to share, the element will simply allocate
 *   one base on default settings. Usually, only applications using OpenGL
 *   base sink, or running on special X11 display need to share a video context.
 *   <note>
 *     Applications sharing X11 Display structure should always initialize the
 *     X11 threading support using XInitThreads() as GStreamer will need to
 *     manipulate the display from a separeate threads.
 *   </note>
 * </para>

 *   This example is for user of ClutterGstVideoSink element, the
 *   ClutterGstPlayer object transparently handle this.
