 * @short_description: Lightweight objects to signal the application of pipeline events
 * @see_also: #GstBus,#GstMiniObject
 *
 * Messages are implemented as a subclass of #GstMiniObject with a generic 
 * #GstStructure as the content. This allows for writing custom messages without
 * requiring an API change while allowing a wide range of different types
 * of messages.
 *
 * Messages are posted by objects in the pipeline and are passed to the 
 * application using the #GstBus.
