/**
* SECTION:gstvideocontext
* @short_description: Interface to handle video library context
*
* The Video Context interface enable sharing video context (such as display
* name, X11 Display, VA-API Display, etc) between neighboor elements and the
* application.
* <note>
* The GstVideoContext interface is unstable API and may change in future.
* One can define GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API to acknowledge and avoid this warning.
* </note>
*
* <refsect2>
* <title>For Element</title>
* <para>
* This interface shall be implement by group of elements that need to share
* a specific video context (like VDPAU, LibVA, OpenGL elements) or by video
* sink in order to let the application select appropriate display information
* (like the X11 display name) when those sink are auto-plugged.
* </para>
* <para>
* Along with implementing the interface, elements will need to query
* neighboor elements or send message to the application when preparing
* the context (see gst_video_context_prepare()). They also need to reply
* to the neighboors element queries, so the context can be shared without
* the application help.
* </para>
* <para>
* Elements that are guarantied to have both upstream and downstream
* neighboors element implementing the #GstVideoContext (like the gloverlay
* element in gst-plugins-opengl) is not required to also implement the
* interface. Relying on neighboors query shall be sufficient (see
* gst_video_context_run_query()).
* </para>
* <para>
* The query is an application query with a structure name set to
* "prepare-video-context" and an array of supported video context types set
* in the field named "types". This query shall be send downstream and
* upstream, iterating the pads in order to find neighboors regardless of a
* static (sink to src) or a dynamic (src to sink) activation. Element should
* used the helpers method gst_video_context_prepare() (or
* gst_video_context_run_query() if no GstVideoContext interface) to
* correctly execute the query . The result is set using the query helper
* functions, the structures fields name being "video-context-type" as
* string and "video-context" as a #GValue.
* </para>
* <para>
* If the query is not handled by any neighboor, the element should ask the
* application using the "prepare-video-context" message. The application
* may then use the interface to set the video context information. If no
* context was set, the element shall create one using default configuration.
* Elements with multiple src or sink pad shall implement proper locking to
* prevent the race of parallel queries being replied.
* </para>
* <para>
* Well known video-context are: "x11-display-name" a string representing the
* X11 display to use, "x11-display" the X11 Display structure, "va-display",
* the VADisplay structure and more.
* </para>
* </refsect2>
*
* <refsect2>
* <title>For Application</title>
* <para>
* In the case there is no neighboor element with video context to share,
* the element will first turn toward the application, by sending a
* "prepare-video-context" message. This message is sent along with a list
* of supported display types. The application can optionally reply to this
* message by calling appropriate setter through the #GstVideoContext
* interface. If the application supports more then one video context type,
* it should choose the first one to occure in the supported list. It's
* important to remember that the message is delivered from the streaming
* thread, and appropriate locking should be considered. If the application
* does not have a video context to share, the element will simply allocate
* one base on default settings. Usually, only applications using OpenGL
* base sink, or running on special X11 display need to share a video context.
* <note>
* Applications sharing X11 Display structure should always initialize the
* X11 threading support using XInitThreads() as GStreamer will need to
* manipulate the display from a separeate threads.
* </note>
* </para>
* <refsect2>
* <title>Example using ClutterVideoGstVideoSink</title>
* <para>
* This example is for user of ClutterGstVideoSink element, the
* ClutterGstPlayer object transparently handle this.
