/**
* SECTION:gstelement
* @short_description: Abstract base class for all pipeline elements
* @see_also: #GstElementFactory, #GstPad
*
* GstElement is the abstract base class needed to construct an element that
* can be used in a GStreamer pipeline. Please refer to the plugin writers
* guide for more information on creating #GstElement subclasses.
*
* The name of a #GstElement can be get with gst_element_get_name() and set with
* gst_element_set_name(). For speed, GST_ELEMENT_NAME() can be used in the
* core when using the appropriate locking. Do not use this in plug-ins or
* applications in order to retain ABI compatibility.
*
* Elements can have pads (of the type #GstPad). These pads link to pads on
* other elements. #GstBuffer flow between these linked pads.
* A #GstElement has a #GList of #GstPad structures for all their input (or sink)
* and output (or source) pads.
* Core and plug-in writers can add and remove pads with gst_element_add_pad()
* and gst_element_remove_pad().
*
* An existing pad of an element can be retrieved by name with
* gst_element_get_static_pad(). A new dynamic pad can be created using
* gst_element_request_pad() with a #GstPadTemplate.
* An iterator of all pads can be retrieved with gst_element_iterate_pads().
*
* Elements can be linked through their pads.
* If the link is straightforward, use the gst_element_link()
* convenience function to link two elements, or gst_element_link_many()
* for more elements in a row.
* Use gst_element_link_filtered() to link two elements constrained by
* a specified set of #GstCaps.
* For finer control, use gst_element_link_pads() and
* gst_element_link_pads_filtered() to specify the pads to link on
* each element by name.
*
* Each element has a state (see #GstState). You can get and set the state
* of an element with gst_element_get_state() and gst_element_set_state().
* Setting a state triggers a #GstStateChange. To get a string representation
* of a #GstState, use gst_element_state_get_name().
*
* You can get and set a #GstClock on an element using gst_element_get_clock()
* and gst_element_set_clock().
* Some elements can provide a clock for the pipeline if
* the #GST_ELEMENT_FLAG_PROVIDE_CLOCK flag is set. With the
* gst_element_provide_clock() method one can retrieve the clock provided by
* such an element.
* Not all elements require a clock to operate correctly. If the
* #GST_ELEMENT_FLAG_REQUIRE_CLOCK() flag is set, a clock should be set on the
* element with gst_element_set_clock().
*
* Note that clock selection and distribution is normally handled by the
* toplevel #GstPipeline so the clock functions are only to be used in very
* specific situations.
