 * Bin is an element that can contain other Elements, allowing them to be managed as a group.
 * Pads from the child elements can be ghosted to the bin, see GhostPad. This makes the bin
 * look like any other elements and enables creation of higher-level abstraction elements.
 *
 * For more information refer to GStreamer's C API documentation.
