<p>
The <a class="link" href="GstControlSource.html" title="GstControlSource"><span class="type">GstControlSource</span></a> is a base class for control value sources that could
be used by <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer-libs/html/GstController.html"><span class="type">GstController</span></a> to get timestamp-value pairs. A control source
essentially is a function over time, returning gloat values between 0.0 and 1.0.
</p>
<p>
A <a class="link" href="GstControlSource.html" title="GstControlSource"><span class="type">GstControlSource</span></a> is used by first getting an instance of a specific
control-source, creating a binding for the control-source to the target property
of the element and then adding the binding to the element. The binding will
convert the data types and value range to fit to the bound property.
</p>
<p>
For implementing a new <a class="link" href="GstControlSource.html" title="GstControlSource"><span class="type">GstControlSource</span></a> one has to implement
<a class="link" href="GstControlSource.html#GstControlSourceGetValue" title="GstControlSourceGetValue ()"><span class="type">GstControlSourceGetValue</span></a> and <a class="link" href="GstControlSource.html#GstControlSourceGetValueArray" title="GstControlSourceGetValueArray ()"><span class="type">GstControlSourceGetValueArray</span></a> functions.
These are then used by <a class="link" href="GstControlSource.html#gst-control-source-get-value" title="gst_control_source_get_value ()"><code class="function">gst_control_source_get_value()</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="GstControlSource.html#gst-control-source-get-value-array" title="gst_control_source_get_value_array ()"><code class="function">gst_control_source_get_value_array()</code></a> to get values for specific timestamps.
