/**
 * SECTION:gstflowcombiner
 * @short_description: Utility to combine multiple flow returns into one
 *
 * Utility struct to help handling #GstFlowReturn combination. Useful for
 * #GstElement<!-- -->s that have multiple source pads and need to combine
 * the different #GstFlowReturn for those pads.
 *
 * #GstFlowCombiner works by using the last #GstFlowReturn for all #GstPad
 * it has in its list and computes the combined return value and provides
 * it to the caller.
 *
 * To add a new pad to the #GstFlowCombiner use gst_flow_combiner_add_pad().
 * The new #GstPad is stored with a default value of %GST_FLOW_OK.
 *
 * In case you want a #GstPad to be removed, use gst_flow_combiner_remove_pad().
 *
 * Please be aware that this struct isn't thread safe as its designed to be
 *  used by demuxers, those usually will have a single thread operating it.
 *
 * None of these functions will take refs on the passed #GstPad<!-- -->s, it
 * is the caller's responsibility to make sure that the #GstPad exists as long
 * as this struct exists.
 *
 * Aside from reducing the user's code size, the main advantage of using this
 * helper struct is to follow the standard rules for #GstFlowReturn combination.
 * These rules are:
 *
 * * %GST_FLOW_EOS: only if all returns are EOS too
 * * %GST_FLOW_NOT_LINKED: only if all returns are NOT_LINKED too
 * * %GST_FLOW_ERROR or below: if at least one returns an error return
 * * %GST_FLOW_NOT_NEGOTIATED: if at least one returns a not-negotiated return
 * * %GST_FLOW_FLUSHING: if at least one returns flushing
 * * %GST_FLOW_OK: otherwise
 *
 * %GST_FLOW_ERROR or below, GST_FLOW_NOT_NEGOTIATED and GST_FLOW_FLUSHING are
 * returned immediatelly from the gst_flow_combiner_update_flow() function.
 *
 * Since: 1.4
