/**
 * SECTION:gstindex
 * @short_description: Generate indexes on objects
 * @see_also: #GstIndexFactory
 *
 * GstIndex is used to generate a stream index of one or more elements
 * in a pipeline.
 *
 * Elements will overload the set_index and get_index virtual methods in
 * #GstElement. When streaming data, the element will add index entries if it
 * has an index set.
 *
 * Each element that adds to the index will do that using a writer_id. The
 * writer_id is obtained from gst_index_get_writer_id().
 *
 * The application that wants to index the stream will create a new index object
 * using gst_index_new() or gst_index_factory_make(). The index is assigned to a
 * specific element, a bin or the whole pipeline. This will cause indexable
 * elements to add entires to the index while playing.
 */

/* FIXME: complete gobject annotations */
/* FIXME-0.11: cleanup API
 * - no one seems to use GstIndexGroup, GstIndexCertainty
 *
 * - the API for application to use the index is mostly missing
 *   - apps need to get a list of writers
 *   - apps need to be able to iterate over each writers index entry collection
 * - gst_index_get_assoc_entry() should pass ownership
 *   - the GstIndexEntry structure is large and contains repetitive information
 *   - we want to allow Indexers to implement a saner storage and create
 *     GstIndexEntries on demand (the app has to free them), might even make
 *     sense to ask the app to provide a ptr and fill it.
