/**
 * SECTION:gstcontrolsource
 * @short_description: base class for control source sources
 *
 * The #GstControlSource is a base class for control value sources that could
 * be used by #GstController to get timestamp-value pairs.
 *
 * A #GstControlSource is used by first getting an instance, binding it to a
 * #GParamSpec (for example by using gst_controller_set_control_source()) and
 * then by having it used by the #GstController or calling
 * gst_control_source_get_value() or gst_control_source_get_value_array().
 *
 * For implementing a new #GstControlSource one has to implement a
 * #GstControlSourceBind method, which will depending on the #GParamSpec set up
 * the control source for use and sets the #GstControlSourceGetValue and
 * #GstControlSourceGetValueArray functions. These are then used by
 * gst_control_source_get_value() or gst_control_source_get_value_array()
 * to get values for specific timestamps.
 *
