/**
 * SECTION:gstevent
 * @title: GstEvent
 * @short_description: Structure describing events that are passed up and down
 *                     a pipeline
 * @see_also: #GstPad, #GstElement
 *
 * The event class provides factory methods to construct events for sending
 * and functions to query (parse) received events.
 *
 * Events are usually created with gst_event_new_*() which takes event-type
 * specific parameters as arguments.
 * To send an event application will usually use gst_element_send_event() and
 * elements will use gst_pad_send_event() or gst_pad_push_event().
 * The event should be unreffed with gst_event_unref() if it has not been sent.
 *
 * Events that have been received can be parsed with their respective
 * gst_event_parse_*() functions. It is valid to pass %NULL for unwanted details.
 *
 * 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 (end of stream) or the start of a new stream-segment.
 * Events are also used to flush the pipeline of any pending data.
 *
 * Most of the event API is used inside plugins. Applications usually only
 * construct and use seek events.
 * To do that gst_event_new_seek() is used to create a seek event. It takes
 * the needed parameters to specify seeking time and mode.
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 *   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");
 *   ...

 * @type: the QoS type
 * @proportion: the proportion of the qos message
 * @diff: The time difference of the last Clock sync
 * @timestamp: The timestamp of the buffer
 *
 * Allocate a new qos event with the given values.
 * The QOS event is generated in an element that wants an upstream
 * element to either reduce or increase its rate because of
 * high/low CPU load or other resource usage such as network performance or
 * throttling. Typically sinks generate these events for each buffer
 * they receive.
 *
 * @type indicates the reason for the QoS event. #GST_QOS_TYPE_OVERFLOW is
 * used when a buffer arrived in time or when the sink cannot keep up with
 * the upstream datarate. #GST_QOS_TYPE_UNDERFLOW is when the sink is not
 * receiving buffers fast enough and thus has to drop late buffers.
 * #GST_QOS_TYPE_THROTTLE is used when the datarate is artificially limited
 * by the application, for example to reduce power consumption.
 *
 * @proportion indicates the real-time performance of the streaming in the
 * element that generated the QoS event (usually the sink). The value is
 * generally computed based on more long term statistics about the streams
 * timestamps compared to the clock.
 * A value < 1.0 indicates that the upstream element is producing data faster
 * than real-time. A value > 1.0 indicates that the upstream element is not
 * producing data fast enough. 1.0 is the ideal @proportion value. The
 * proportion value can safely be used to lower or increase the quality of
 * the element.
 *
 * @diff is the difference against the clock in running time of the last
 * buffer that caused the element to generate the QOS event. A negative value
 * means that the buffer with @timestamp arrived in time. A positive value
 * indicates how late the buffer with @timestamp was. When throttling is
 * enabled, @diff will be set to the requested throttling interval.
 *
 * @timestamp is the timestamp of the last buffer that cause the element
 * to generate the QOS event. It is expressed in running time and thus an ever
 * increasing value.
 *
 * The upstream element can use the @diff and @timestamp values to decide
 * whether to process more buffers. For positive @diff, all buffers with
 * timestamp <= @timestamp + @diff will certainly arrive late in the sink
 * as well. A (negative) @diff value so that @timestamp + @diff would yield a
 * result smaller than 0 is not allowed.
 *
 * The application can use general event probes to intercept the QoS
 * event and implement custom application specific QoS handling.
 *
 * Returns: (transfer full) (nullable): a new QOS event.
