Don't wait for inactive pads when live. An inactive pad is a pad that hasn't yet received a buffer, but that has been waited on at least once.
The purpose of this property is to avoid aggregating on timeout when new pads are requested in advance of receiving data flow, for example the user may decide to connect it later, but wants to configure it already.

Force minimum upstream latency (in nanoseconds). When sources with a higher latency are expected to be plugged in dynamically after the aggregator has started playing, this allows overriding the minimum latency reported by the initial source(s). This is only taken into account when larger than the actually reported minimum latency.

This function will emit the #GstElement::pad-added signal on the element.
Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property
on target.
Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is
updated using the same value. For instance:
g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.
If flags contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual:
if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source
will be updated as well.
The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the
target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the
source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned
#GBinding instance.
Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if
the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it
is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it
is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be
finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and
use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.

Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is
non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is
stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased
to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one

object is frozen.
This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

Gets the state of the element.
For elements that performed an ASYNC state change, as reported by gst_element_set_state(), this function will block up to the specified timeout value for the state change to complete. If the element completes the state change or goes into an error, this function returns immediately with a return value of %GST_STATE_CHANGE_SUCCESS or %GST_STATE_CHANGE_FAILURE respectively.
For elements that did not return %GST_STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC, this function returns the current and pending state immediately.
This function returns %GST_STATE_CHANGE_NO_PREROLL if the element successfully changed its state but is not able to provide data yet. This mostly happens for live sources that only produce data in %GST_STATE_PLAYING. While the state change return is equivalent to %GST_STATE_CHANGE_SUCCESS, it is returned to the application to signal that some sink elements might not be able to complete their state change because an element is not producing data to complete the preroll. When setting the element to playing, the preroll will complete and playback will start.

Retrieves an iterator of element's pads. The iterator should

Brings the element to the lost state. The current state of the element is copied to the pending state so that any call to gst_element_get_state() will return %GST_STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC.
An ASYNC_START message is posted. If the element was PLAYING, it will go to PAUSED. The element will be restored to its PLAYING state by the parent pipeline when it prerolls again.
This is mostly used for elements that lost their preroll buffer in the %GST_STATE_PAUSED or %GST_STATE_PLAYING state after a flush, they will go to their pending state again when a new preroll buffer is queued.

Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.
This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().
One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:
enum
{
PROP_0,
PROP_FOO,
PROP_LAST
};
static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];
static void
my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
{

0, 100,

G_PARAM_READWRITE);
g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,

Use this function to determine what input buffers will be aggregated to produce the next output buffer. This should only be called from a #GstAggregator::samples-selected handler, and can be used to precisely control aggregating parameters for a given set of input samples.
Performs a query on the given element.
For elements that don't implement a query handler, this function forwards the query to a random srcpad or to the peer of a random linked sinkpad of this element.
Please note that some queries might need a running pipeline to work.
Queries an element (usually top-level pipeline or playbin element) for the total stream duration in nanoseconds. This query will only work once the pipeline is prerolled (i.e. reached PAUSED or PLAYING state). The application will receive an ASYNC_DONE message on the pipeline bus when that is the case.
If the duration changes for some reason, you will get a DURATION_CHANGED message on the pipeline bus, in which case you should re-query the duration using this function.
Queries an element (usually top-level pipeline or playbin element) for the stream position in nanoseconds. This will be a value between 0 and the stream duration (if the stream duration is known). This query will usually only work once the pipeline is prerolled (i.e. reached PAUSED or PLAYING state). The application will receive an ASYNC_DONE message on the pipeline bus when that is the case.
If one repeatedly calls this function one can also create a query and reuse it in gst_element_query().
Increments the reference count on object. This function
does not take the lock on object because it relies on
atomic refcounting.
This object returns the input parameter to ease writing constructs like : result = gst_object_ref (object->parent);
Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the
[floating][floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.
In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.
Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type
under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().
Makes the element free the previously requested pad as obtained with gst_element_request_pad().

This function is used by plugin developers and should not be used by applications. Pads that were dynamically requested from elements with gst_element_request_pad() should be released with the gst_element_release_request_pad() function instead.
Pads are not automatically deactivated so elements should perform the needed steps to deactivate the pad in case this pad is removed in the PAUSED or PLAYING state. See gst_pad_set_active() for more information about deactivating pads.
The pad and the element should be unlocked when calling this function.

This method is slower than manually getting the pad template and calling
gst_element_request_pad() if the pads should have a specific name (e.g.
name is "src_1" instead of "src_%u").
Note that this function was introduced in GStreamer 1.20 in order to provide a better name to gst_element_get_request_pad(). Prior to 1.20, users should use gst_element_get_request_pad() which provides the same functionality.

Simple API to perform a seek on the given element, meaning it just seeks to the given position relative to the start of the stream. For more complex operations like segment seeks (e.g. for looping) or changing the playback rate or seeking relative to the last configured playback segment you should use gst_element_seek().
In a completely prerolled PAUSED or PLAYING pipeline, 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 READY state, in this case they will store the seek event and execute it when they are put to PAUSED. If the element supports seek in READY, it will always return %TRUE when it receives the event in the READY state.

Internally, the key is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string().
This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been

Toplevel elements like #GstPipeline will manage the start_time and base_time on its children. Setting the start_time to #GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE on such a toplevel element will disable the distribution of the base_time to the children and can be useful if the application manages the base_time itself, for example if you want to synchronize capture from multiple pipelines, and you can also ensure that the pipelines have the same clock.

Sets the state of the element. This function will try to set the requested state by going through all the intermediary states and calling the class's state change function for each.
This function can return #GST_STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC, in which case the element will perform the remainder of the state change asynchronously in another thread. An application can use gst_element_get_state() to wait for the completion of the state change or it can wait for a %GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_DONE or %GST_MESSAGE_STATE_CHANGED on the bus.
State changes to %GST_STATE_READY or %GST_STATE_NULL never return #GST_STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC.
This is a simple #GstAggregatorClass::get_next_time implementation that just looks at the #GstSegment on the srcpad of the aggregator and bases the next time on the running time there.

without invoking its destroy() function (if any was
set).
Usually, calling this function is only required to update
user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
void
object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
const gchar *new_string)
{
// the quark, naming the object data
GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
// retrieve the old string list
GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);
// prepend new string
list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
// this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
}
static void
free_string_list (gpointer data)
{
GList *node, *list = data;
for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
g_free (node->data);
g_list_free (list);
}
Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().
A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
Returns a suggestion for timestamps where buffers should be split to get best controller results.
Tries to change the state of the element to the same as its parent. If this function returns %FALSE, the state of element is undefined.
Sets the properties of the object, according to the #GstControlSources that (maybe) handle them and for the given timestamp.
If this function fails, it is most likely the application developers fault. Most probably the control sources are not setup correctly.
the time that should be processed
Reverts the effect of a previous call to
g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object
and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.
It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.
Unlinks all source pads of the source element with all sink pads of the sink element to which they are linked.
If the link has been made using gst_element_link(), it could have created an requestpad, which has to be released using gst_element_release_request_pad().
Unlinks the two named pads of the source and destination elements.
This is a convenience function for gst_pad_unlink().
the name of the #GstPad in source element.
a #GstElement containing the destination pad.
the name of the #GstPad in destination element.
Clear the parent of object, removing the associated reference.
This function decreases the refcount of object.
MT safe. Grabs and releases object's lock.
Decrements the reference count on object. If reference count hits
zero, destroy object. This function does not take the lock
on object as it relies on atomic refcounting.
The unref method should never be called with the LOCK held since this might deadlock the dispose function.
This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to
the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized,
the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on
it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized
(nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are
added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra
reference count is held on object during invocation of the
closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that
use this object as closure data.
#GClosure to watch
Checks to see if there is any object named name in list. This function
does not do any locking of any kind. You might want to protect the
provided list with the lock of the owner of the list. This function
will lock each #GstObject in the list to compare the name, so be
careful when passing a list with a locked object.
A default deep_notify signal callback for an object. The user data should contain a pointer to an array of strings that should be excluded from the notify. The default handler will print the new value of the property using g_print.
MT safe. This function grabs and releases object's LOCK for getting its
path string.
the #GObject that signalled the notify.
a #GstObject that initiated the notify.
a #GParamSpec of the property.
a set of user-specified properties to exclude or %NULL to show all changes.
Find the #GParamSpec with the given name for an
interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as g_iface
will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or,
if you know the interface has already been loaded,
g_type_default_interface_peek().
any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface
name of a property to look up.
Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.
This function is meant to be called from the interface's default
vtable initialization function (the class_init member of
#GTypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has
been called for any object types implementing this interface.
If pspec is a floating reference, it will be consumed.
any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface.
the #GParamSpec for the new property
Lists the properties of an interface.Generally, the interface
vtable passed in as g_iface will be the default vtable from
g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has
already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().
any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface
Creates a new instance of a #GObject subtype and sets its properties.

Atomically modifies a pointer to point to a new object.
The reference count of oldobj is decreased and the reference count of
newobj is increased.
Either newobj and the value pointed to by oldobj may be %NULL.

Gets a string representing the given state change result.
a #GstStateChangeReturn to get the name of.
Marks type as "documentation should be skipped".
Can be useful for dynamically registered element to be excluded from
plugin documentation system.
Example:
GType my_type;
GTypeInfo my_type_info;
// Fill "my_type_info"
...
my_type = g_type_register_static (GST_TYPE_MY_ELEMENT, "my-type-name",
&my_type_info, 0);
gst_element_type_set_skip_documentation (my_type);
gst_element_register (plugin, "my-plugin-feature-name", rank, my_type);
a #GType of element
Subclasses must use (a subclass of) #GstAudioAggregatorPad for both their source and sink pads, gst_element_class_add_static_pad_template_with_gtype() is a convenient helper.
#GstAudioAggregator can perform conversion on the data arriving on its sink pads, based on the format expected downstream: in order to enable that behaviour, the GType of the sink pads must either be a (subclass of) #GstAudioAggregatorConvertPad to use the default #GstAudioConverter implementation, or a subclass of #GstAudioAggregatorPad implementing #GstAudioAggregatorPadClass.convert_buffer.
To allow for the output caps to change, the mechanism is the same as above, with the GType of the source pad.
See #GstAudioMixer for an example.
When conversion is enabled, #GstAudioAggregator will accept any type of raw audio caps and perform conversion on the data arriving on its sink pads, with whatever downstream expects as the target format.
In case downstream caps are not fully fixated, it will use the first configured sink pad to finish fixating its source pad caps.
A notable exception for now is the sample rate, sink pads must have the same sample rate as either the downstream requirement, or the first configured pad, or a combination of both (when downstream specifies a range or a set of acceptable rates).
The #GstAggregator::samples-selected signal is provided with some additional information about the output buffer:
In addition the gst_aggregator_peek_next_sample() function returns additional information in the info #GstStructure of the returned sample:
