 *   * The element must check if the resources it needs are available. Device
 *     sinks and -sources typically try to probe the device to constrain their
 *     caps.
 *   * The element opens the device (in case feature need to be probed).
 * @GST_STATE_CHANGE_READY_TO_PAUSED  : state change from READY to PAUSED.
 *   * The element pads are activated in order to receive data in PAUSED.
 *     Streaming threads are started.
 *   * Some elements might need to return %GST_STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC and complete
 *     the state change when they have enough information. It is a requirement
 *     for sinks to return %GST_STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC and complete the state change
 *     when they receive the first buffer or %GST_EVENT_EOS (preroll).
 *     Sinks also block the dataflow when in PAUSED.
 *   * A pipeline resets the running_time to 0.
 *   * Live sources return %GST_STATE_CHANGE_NO_PREROLL and don't generate data.
 * @GST_STATE_CHANGE_PAUSED_TO_PLAYING: state change from PAUSED to PLAYING.
 *   * Most elements ignore this state change.
 *   * The pipeline selects a #GstClock and distributes this to all the children
 *     before setting them to PLAYING. This means that it is only allowed to
 *     synchronize on the #GstClock in the PLAYING state.
 *   * The pipeline uses the #GstClock and the running_time to calculate the
 *     base_time. The base_time is distributed to all children when performing
 *     the state change.
 *   * Sink elements stop blocking on the preroll buffer or event and start
 *     rendering the data.
 *   * Sinks can post %GST_MESSAGE_EOS in the PLAYING state. It is not allowed
 *     to post %GST_MESSAGE_EOS when not in the PLAYING state.
 *   * While streaming in PAUSED or PLAYING elements can create and remove
 *     sometimes pads.
 *   * Live sources start generating data and return %GST_STATE_CHANGE_SUCCESS.
 * @GST_STATE_CHANGE_PLAYING_TO_PAUSED: state change from PLAYING to PAUSED.
 *   * Most elements ignore this state change.
 *   * The pipeline calculates the running_time based on the last selected
 *     #GstClock and the base_time. It stores this information to continue
 *     playback when going back to the PLAYING state.
 *   * Sinks unblock any #GstClock wait calls.
 *   * When a sink does not have a pending buffer to play, it returns
 *     #GST_STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC from this state change and completes the state
 *     change when it receives a new buffer or an %GST_EVENT_EOS.
 *   * Any queued %GST_MESSAGE_EOS items are removed since they will be reposted
 *     when going back to the PLAYING state. The EOS messages are queued in
 *     #GstBin containers.
 *   * Live sources stop generating data and return %GST_STATE_CHANGE_NO_PREROLL.
 * @GST_STATE_CHANGE_PAUSED_TO_READY  : state change from PAUSED to READY.
 *   * Sinks unblock any waits in the preroll.
 *   * Elements unblock any waits on devices
 *   * Chain or get_range functions return %GST_FLOW_FLUSHING.
 *   * The element pads are deactivated so that streaming becomes impossible and
 *     all streaming threads are stopped.
 *   * The sink forgets all negotiated formats
 *   * Elements remove all sometimes pads
 * @GST_STATE_CHANGE_READY_TO_NULL    : state change from READY to NULL.
 *   * Elements close devices
 *   * Elements reset any internal state.
 * @GST_STATE_CHANGE_NULL_TO_NULL       : state change from NULL to NULL. (Since 1.14)
 * @GST_STATE_CHANGE_READY_TO_READY     : state change from READY to READY,
 * This might happen when going to PAUSED asynchronously failed, in that case
 * elements should make sure they are in a proper, coherent READY state. (Since 1.14)
 * @GST_STATE_CHANGE_PAUSED_TO_PAUSED   : state change from PAUSED to PAUSED.
 * This might happen when elements were in PLAYING state and 'lost state',
 * they should make sure to go back to real 'PAUSED' state (prerolling for example). (Since 1.14)
 * @GST_STATE_CHANGE_PLAYING_TO_PLAYING : state change from PLAYING to PLAYING. (Since 1.14)
 *
 * These are the different state changes an element goes through.
 * %GST_STATE_NULL &rArr; %GST_STATE_PLAYING is called an upwards state change
