/** A class that represents objects contained by elements that allows links to

 * A Gst::Element is linked to other elements via "pads", which are extremely
 * light-weight generic link points. After two pads are retrieved from an
 * element with Element::get_pad(), the pads can be link with link(). (For
 * quick links, you can also use Element::link(), which will make the obvious
 * link for you if it's straightforward.)
 *
 * Pads are typically created from a Gst::PadTemplate with the create() method
 * that takes a Gst::PadTemplate.
 *
 * Pads have Gst::Caps attached to it to describe the media type they are
 * capable of dealing with. get_caps() and set_caps() are used to manipulate
 * the caps of the pads. Pads created from a pad template cannot set
 * capabilities that are incompatible with the pad template capabilities.
 *
 * Pads without pad templates can be created with create(), which takes a
 * direction and a name as an argument.
 *
 * get_parent_element() will retrieve the Gst::Element that owns the pad.
 *
 * A Gst::Element creating a pad will typically use the underlying C API to
 * register callbacks for various events on the pads.
 *
 * Elements will use push() and pull_range() to push out or pull in a buffer.
 *
 * To send a Gst::Event on a pad, use send_event() and push_event().
