 *        for the probe type applies ('block' for blocking probes,
 *        and 'pass' for non-blocking probes).
 * @GST_PAD_PROBE_DROP: drop data in data probes. For push mode this means that
 *        the data item is not sent downstream. For pull mode, it means that
 *        the data item is not passed upstream. In both cases, no other probes
 *        are called for this item and %GST_FLOW_OK or %TRUE is returned to the
 *        caller.
 * @GST_PAD_PROBE_REMOVE: remove this probe.
 * @GST_PAD_PROBE_PASS: pass the data item in the block probe and block on the
 *        next item.
 * @GST_PAD_PROBE_HANDLED: Data has been handled in the probe and will not be
 *        forwarded further. For events and buffers this is the same behaviour as
 *        %GST_PAD_PROBE_DROP (except that in this case you need to unref the buffer
 *        or event yourself). For queries it will also return %TRUE to the caller.
 *        The probe can also modify the #GstFlowReturn value by using the
 *        #GST_PAD_PROBE_INFO_FLOW_RETURN() accessor.
 *        Note that the resulting query must contain valid entries.
 *        Since: 1.6
