<title>The event function</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The event function notifies you of special events that happen in
|
|
the datastream (such as caps, end-of-stream, newsegment, tags, etc.).
|
|
Events can travel both upstream and downstream, so you can receive them
|
|
on sink pads as well as source pads.

Below follows a very simple event function that we install on the sink
|
|
pad of our element.

<para>
|
|
It is a good idea to call the default event handler
|
|
<function>gst_pad_event_default ()</function> for unknown events.
|
|
Depending on the event type, the default handler will forward
|
|
the event or simply unref it. The CAPS event is by default not
|
|
forwarded so we need to do this in the event handler ourselves.
