Sebastian Dröge 50f91c0825 Revert "event: example of how to optimize events"
This reverts commit fa28e2c5e6.

The optimization only has minimal impact on the performance and
makes everything more complex.

/**
* SECTION: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 specity seeking time and mode.
* <example>
* <title>performing a seek on a pipeline</title>
* <programlisting>
* 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");
* ...
* </programlisting>
* </example>

* requested for playback. For example, if an element has an input segment
* with intended playback @rate of 2.0 and applied_rate of 1.0, it can adjust

* @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 possitive @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): a new QOS event.
