Events have ever-incrementing sequence numbers, which may also be set
explicitly via gst_event_set_seqnum(). Sequence numbers are typically used to
indicate that a event corresponds to some other set of events or messages,
for example an EOS event corresponding to a SEEK event. It is considered good
practice to make this correspondence when possible, though it is not
required.
Note that events and messages share the same sequence number incrementor;
two events or messages will never have the same sequence number unless
that correspondence was made explicitly.
