/**
* SECTION:gsttask
* @short_description: Abstraction of GStreamer streaming threads.
* @see_also: #GstElement, #GstPad
*
* #GstTask is used by #GstElement and #GstPad to provide the data passing
* threads in a #GstPipeline.
*
* A #GstPad will typically start a #GstTask to push or pull data to/from the
* peer pads. Most source elements start a #GstTask to push data. In some cases
* a demuxer element can start a #GstTask to pull data from a peer element. This
* is typically done when the demuxer can perform random access on the upstream
* peer element for improved performance.
*
* Although convenience functions exist on #GstPad to start/pause/stop tasks, it
* might sometimes be needed to create a #GstTask manually if it is not related to
* a #GstPad.
*
* Before the #GstTask can be run, it needs a #GStaticRecMutex that can be set with
* gst_task_set_lock().
*
* The task can be started, paused and stopped with gst_task_start(), gst_task_pause()
* and gst_task_stop() respectively or with the gst_task_set_state() function.
*
* A #GstTask will repeatedly call the #GstTaskFunction with the user data
* that was provided when creating the task with gst_task_new(). While calling
* the function it will acquire the provided lock. The provided lock is released
* when the task pauses or stops.
*
* Stopping a task with gst_task_stop() will not immediately make sure the task is
* not running anymore. Use gst_task_join() to make sure the task is completely
* stopped and the thread is stopped.
*
* After creating a #GstTask, use gst_object_unref() to free its resources. This can
* only be done when the task is not running anymore.
*
* Task functions can send a #GstMessage to send out-of-band data to the
* application. The application can receive messages from the #GstBus in its
* mainloop.
*
* For debugging purposes, the task will configure its object name as the thread
* name on Linux. Please note that the object name should be configured before the
* task is started; changing the object name after the task has been started, has
* no effect on the thread name.
