/**
 * SECTION:gstpad
 * @short_description: Object contained by elements that allows links to
 *                     other elements
 * @see_also: #GstPadTemplate, #GstElement, #GstEvent, #GstQuery, #GstBuffer
 *
 * A #GstElement is linked to other elements via "pads", which are extremely
 * light-weight generic link points.
 *
 * Pads have a #GstPadDirection, source pads produce data, sink pads consume
 * data.
 *
 * Pads are typically created from a #GstPadTemplate with
 * gst_pad_new_from_template() and are then added to a #GstElement. This usually
 * happens when the element is created but it can also happen dynamically based
 * on the data that the element is processing or based on the pads that the
 * application requests.
 *
 * Pads without pad templates can be created with gst_pad_new(),
 * which takes a direction and a name as an argument.  If the name is NULL,
 * then a guaranteed unique name will be assigned to it.
 *
 * A #GstElement creating a pad will typically use the various
 * gst_pad_set_*_function() calls to register callbacks for events, queries or
 * dataflow on the pads.
 *
 * gst_pad_get_parent() will retrieve the #GstElement that owns the pad.
 *
 * After two pads are retrieved from an element with gst_element_get_pad(),
 * the pads can be linked with gst_pad_link(). (For quick links,
 * you can also use gst_element_link(), which will make the obvious
 * link for you if it's straightforward.). Pads can be unlinked again with
 * gst_pad_unlink(). gst_pad_get_peer() can be used to check what the pad is
 * linked to.
 *
 * Before dataflow is possible on the pads, they need to be activated with
 * gst_pad_set_active().
 *
 * gst_pad_query() and gst_pad_peer_query() can be used to query various
 * properties of the pad and the stream.
 *
 * To send a #GstEvent on a pad, use gst_pad_send_event() and
 * gst_pad_push_event(). Some events will be sticky on the pad, meaning that
 * after they pass on the pad they can be queried later with
 * gst_pad_get_sticky_event() and gst_pad_sticky_events_foreach().
 * gst_pad_get_current_caps() and gst_pad_has_current_caps() are convenience
 * functions to query the current sticky CAPS event on a pad.
 *
 * GstElements will use gst_pad_push() and gst_pad_pull_range() to push out
 * or pull in a buffer.
 *
 * The dataflow, events and queries that happen on a pad can be monitored with
 * probes that can be installed with gst_pad_add_probe(). gst_pad_is_blocked()
 * can be used to check if a block probe is installed on the pad.
 * gst_pad_is_blocking() checks if the blocking probe is currently blocking the
 * pad. gst_pad_remove_probe() is used to remove a previously installed probe
 * and unblock blocking probes if any.
 *
 * Pad have an offset that can be retrieved with gst_pad_get_offset(). This
 * offset will be applied to the running_time of all data passing over the pad.
 * gst_pad_set_offset() can be used to change the offset.
 *
 * Convenience functions exist to start, pause and stop the task on a pad with
 * gst_pad_start_task(), gst_pad_pause_task() and gst_pad_stop_task()
 * respectively.

/**
 * gst_pad_send_event:
 * @pad: a #GstPad to send the event to.
 * @event: (transfer full): the #GstEvent to send to the pad.
 *
 * Sends the event to the pad. This function can be used
 * by applications to send events in the pipeline.
 *
 * If @pad is a source pad, @event should be an upstream event. If @pad is a
 * sink pad, @event should be a downstream event. For example, you would not
 * send a #GST_EVENT_EOS on a src pad; EOS events only propagate downstream.
 * Furthermore, some downstream events have to be serialized with data flow,
 * like EOS, while some can travel out-of-band, like #GST_EVENT_FLUSH_START. If
 * the event needs to be serialized with data flow, this function will take the
 * pad's stream lock while calling its event function.
 *
 * To find out whether an event type is upstream, downstream, or downstream and
 * serialized, see #GstEventTypeFlags, gst_event_type_get_flags(),
 * #GST_EVENT_IS_UPSTREAM, #GST_EVENT_IS_DOWNSTREAM, and
 * #GST_EVENT_IS_SERIALIZED. Note that in practice that an application or
 * plugin doesn't need to bother itself with this information; the core handles
 * all necessary locks and checks.
 *
 * This function takes owership of the provided event so you should
 * gst_event_ref() it if you want to reuse the event after this call.
 *
 * Returns: TRUE if the event was handled.
