/**
* SECTION:element-proxysrc
* @title: proxysrc
*
* Proxysrc is a source element that proxies events, queries, and buffers from
* another pipeline that contains a matching proxysink element. The purpose is
* to allow two decoupled pipelines to function as though they are one without
* having to manually shuttle buffers, events, queries, etc between the two.
*
* The element queues buffers from the matching proxysink to an internal queue,
* so everything downstream is properly decoupled from the upstream pipeline.
* However, the queue may get filled up if the downstream pipeline does not
* accept buffers quickly enough; perhaps because it is not yet PLAYING.
*
* ## Usage
*
* |[<!-- language="C" -->
* GstElement *pipe1, *pipe2, *psink, *psrc;
* GstClock *clock;
*
* pipe1 = gst_parse_launch ("audiotestsrc ! proxysink name=psink", NULL);
* psink = gst_bin_get_by_name (GST_BIN (pipe1), "psink");
*
* pipe2 = gst_parse_launch ("proxysrc name=psrc ! autoaudiosink", NULL);
* psrc = gst_bin_get_by_name (GST_BIN (pipe2), "psrc");
*
* // Connect the two pipelines
* g_object_set (psrc, "proxysink", psink, NULL);
*
* // Both pipelines must agree on the timing information or we'll get glitches
* // or overruns/underruns. Ideally, we should tell pipe1 to use the same clock
* // as pipe2, but since that will be set asynchronously to the audio clock, it
* // is simpler and likely accurate enough to use the system clock for both
* // pipelines. If no element in either pipeline will provide a clock, this
* // is not needed.
* clock = gst_system_clock_obtain ();
* gst_pipeline_use_clock (GST_PIPELINE (pipe1), clock);
* gst_pipeline_use_clock (GST_PIPELINE (pipe2), clock);
* g_object_unref (clock);
*
* // This is not really needed in this case since the pipelines are created and
* // started at the same time. However, an application that dynamically
* // generates pipelines must ensure that all the pipelines that will be
* // connected together share the same base time.
* gst_element_set_base_time (pipe1, 0);
* gst_element_set_base_time (pipe2, 0);
*
* gst_element_set_state (pipe1, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
* gst_element_set_state (pipe2, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
