/**
 * SECTION:gstevent
 * @short_description: Structure describing events that are passed up and down
 *                     a pipeline
 * @see_also: #GstPad, #GstElement
 *
 * The event classes are used to construct and query events.
 *
 * Events are usually created with gst_event_new_*() which takes the extra
 * event parameters as arguments.
 * Events can be parsed with their respective gst_event_parse_*() functions.
 * The event should be unreffed with gst_event_unref().
 *
 * Events are passed between elements in parallel to the data stream. Some events
 * are serialized with buffers, others are not. Some events only travel downstream,
 * others only upstream. Some events can travel both upstream and downstream. 
 * 
 * The events are used to signal special conditions in the datastream such as EOS
 * or the start of a new segment. Events are also used to flush the pipeline of
 * any pending data.
 *
 * Most of the event API is used inside plugins. The application usually only 
 * constructs and uses the seek event API when it wants to perform a seek in the
 * pipeline. 

 * gst_event_new_seek() is usually used to create a seek event and it takes
 * the needed parameters for a seek event.
 * <example>
 * <title>performing a seek on a pipeline</title>
 *   <programlisting>
 *   GstEvent *event;
 *   gboolean result;
 *   ...
 *   // construct a seek event to play the media from second 2 to 5, flush
 *   // the pipeline to decrease latency.
 *   event = gst_event_new_seek (1.0, 
 *      GST_FORMAT_TIME, 
 *   	GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH,
 *   	GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, 2 * GST_SECOND,
 *   	GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, 5 * GST_SECOND);
 *   ...
 *   result = gst_element_send_event (pipeline, event);
 *   if (!result)
 *     g_warning ("seek failed");
 *   ...
 *   </programlisting>
 * </example>
