module Media.Streaming.GStreamer.Core.Element (

-- * Detail

  -- | 'Element' is the abstract base class needed to construct an
  --   element that can be used in a GStreamer pipeline.
  --   
  --   All elements have pads (of the type 'Pad'). These pads link to
  --   pads on other elements. 'Buffer's flow between these linked
  --   pads. An 'Element' has a 'Pad' for each input (or sink) and
  --   output (or source).
  --   
  --   An element's pad can be retrieved by name with
  --   'elementGetStaticPad' or 'elementGetRequestPad'. An 'Iterator'
  --   over all an element's pads can be retrieved with
  --   'elementIteratePads'.
  --   
  --   Elements can be linked through their pads. If the link is
  --   straightforward, use the 'elementLink' convenience function to
  --   link two elements. Use 'elementLinkFiltered' to link two
  --   elements constrained by a specified set of 'Caps'. For finer
  --   control, use 'elementLinkPads' and 'elementLinkPadsFiltered' to
  --   specify the pads to link on each element by name.
  --   
  --   Each element has a 'State'. You can get and set the state of an
  --   element with 'elementGetState' and 'elementSetState'. To get a
  --   string representation of a 'State', use 'elementStateGetName'.
  --   
  --   You can get and set a 'Clock' on an element using
  --   'elementGetClock' and 'elementSetClock'. Some elements can
  --   provide a clock for the pipeline if 'elementProvidesClock'
  --   returns 'True'. With the 'elementProvideClock' method one can
  --   retrieve the clock provided by such an element. Not all
  --   elements require a clock to operate correctly. If
  --   'elementRequiresClock' returns 'True', a clock should be set on
  --   the element with 'elementSetClock'.
  --   
  --   Note that clock slection and distribution is normally handled
  --   by the toplevel 'Pipeline' so the clock functions should only
  --   be used in very specific situations.

--   or changing the playback rate, or seeking relative to the last
--   configured playback segment you should use 'elementSeek'.
--   
--   In a completely prerolled pipeline in the 'StatePaused' or
--   'StatePlaying' states, seeking is always guaranteed to return
--   'True' on a seekable media type, or 'False' when the media type
--   is certainly not seekable (such as a live stream).
--   
--   Some elements allow for seeking in the 'StateReady' state, in
--   which case they will store the seek event and execute it when
--   they are put into the 'StatePaused' state. If the element
--   supports seek in "StateReady", it will always return 'True' when
--   it recieves the event in the 'StateReady' state.
