 <a name="GstBus.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
 <p>The <a class="link" href="GstBus.html" title="GstBus"><span class="type">GstBus</span></a> is an object responsible for delivering <a class="link" href="GstMessage.html" title="GstMessage"><span class="type">GstMessage</span></a> packets in
 a first-in first-out way from the streaming threads (see <a class="link" href="GstTask.html" title="GstTask"><span class="type">GstTask</span></a>) to the
 application.</p>
 <p>Since the application typically only wants to deal with delivery of these
 messages from one thread, the GstBus will marshall the messages between
 different threads. This is important since the actual streaming of media
 is done in another thread than the application.</p>
 <p>The GstBus provides support for <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html#GSource"><span class="type">GSource</span></a> based notifications. This makes it
 possible to handle the delivery in the glib mainloop.</p>
 <p>The <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html#GSource"><span class="type">GSource</span></a> callback function <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-async-signal-func" title="gst_bus_async_signal_func ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_async_signal_func()</code></a> can be used to
 convert all bus messages into signal emissions.</p>
 <p>A message is posted on the bus with the <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-post" title="gst_bus_post ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_post()</code></a> method. With the
 <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-peek" title="gst_bus_peek ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_peek()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-pop" title="gst_bus_pop ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_pop()</code></a> methods one can look at or retrieve a
 previously posted message.</p>
 <p>The bus can be polled with the <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-poll" title="gst_bus_poll ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_poll()</code></a> method. This methods blocks
 up to the specified timeout value until one of the specified messages types
 is posted on the bus. The application can then <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-pop" title="gst_bus_pop ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_pop()</code></a> the messages
 from the bus to handle them.
 Alternatively the application can register an asynchronous bus function
 using <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-add-watch-full" title="gst_bus_add_watch_full ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_add_watch_full()</code></a> or <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-add-watch" title="gst_bus_add_watch ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_add_watch()</code></a>. This function will
 install a <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html#GSource"><span class="type">GSource</span></a> in the default glib main loop and will deliver messages
 a short while after they have been posted. Note that the main loop should
 be running for the asynchronous callbacks.</p>
 <p>It is also possible to get messages from the bus without any thread
 marshalling with the <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-set-sync-handler" title="gst_bus_set_sync_handler ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_set_sync_handler()</code></a> method. This makes it
 possible to react to a message in the same thread that posted the
 message on the bus. This should only be used if the application is able
 to deal with messages from different threads.</p>
 <p>Every <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html" title="GstPipeline"><span class="type">GstPipeline</span></a> has one bus.</p>
 <p>Note that a <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html" title="GstPipeline"><span class="type">GstPipeline</span></a> will set its bus into flushing state when changing
 from READY to NULL state.</p>

 <p>Poll the bus for messages. Will block while waiting for messages to come.
 You can specify a maximum time to poll with the <em class="parameter"><code>timeout</code></em>
  parameter. If
 <em class="parameter"><code>timeout</code></em>
  is negative, this function will block indefinitely.</p>
 <p>All messages not in <em class="parameter"><code>events</code></em>
  will be popped off the bus and will be ignored.
 It is not possible to use message enums beyond <a class="link" href="GstMessage.html#GST-MESSAGE-EXTENDED:CAPS"><span class="type">GST_MESSAGE_EXTENDED</span></a> in the
 <em class="parameter"><code>events</code></em>
  mask</p>
 <p>Because poll is implemented using the "message" signal enabled by
 <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-add-signal-watch" title="gst_bus_add_signal_watch ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_add_signal_watch()</code></a>, calling <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-poll" title="gst_bus_poll ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_poll()</code></a> will cause the "message"
 signal to be emitted for every message that poll sees. Thus a "message"
 signal handler will see the same messages that this function sees -- neither
 will steal messages from the other.</p>
 <p>This function will run a main loop from the default main context when
 polling.</p>
 <p>You should never use this function, since it is pure evil. This is
 especially true for GUI applications based on Gtk+ or Qt, but also for any
 other non-trivial application that uses the GLib main loop. As this function
 runs a GLib main loop, any callback attached to the default GLib main
 context may be invoked. This could be timeouts, GUI events, I/O events etc.;
 even if <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-poll" title="gst_bus_poll ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_poll()</code></a> is called with a 0 timeout. Any of these callbacks
 may do things you do not expect, e.g. destroy the main application window or
 some other resource; change other application state; display a dialog and
 run another main loop until the user clicks it away. In short, using this
 function may add a lot of complexity to your code through unexpected
 re-entrancy and unexpected changes to your application's state.</p>
 <p>For 0 timeouts use <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-pop-filtered" title="gst_bus_pop_filtered ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_pop_filtered()</code></a> instead of this function; for
 other short timeouts use <a class="link" href="GstBus.html#gst-bus-timed-pop-filtered" title="gst_bus_timed_pop_filtered ()"><code class="function">gst_bus_timed_pop_filtered()</code></a>; everything else is
 better handled by setting up an asynchronous bus watch and doing things
 from there.</p>
