Stream errors are for anything related to the stream being processed:
format errors, media type errors, ...
They're typically used by decoders, demuxers, converters, ...
GST_STREAM_ERROR_FAILED
a general error which doesn't fit in any other
category. Make sure you add a custom message to the error call.
GST_STREAM_ERROR_TOO_LAZY
do not use this except as a placeholder for
deciding where to go while developing code.
GST_STREAM_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
use this when you do not want to implement
this functionality yet.
GST_STREAM_ERROR_TYPE_NOT_FOUND
used when the element doesn't know the
stream's type.
GST_STREAM_ERROR_WRONG_TYPE
used when the element doesn't handle this type
of stream.
GST_STREAM_ERROR_CODEC_NOT_FOUND
used when there's no codec to handle the
stream's type.
GST_STREAM_ERROR_DECODE
used when decoding fails.
GST_STREAM_ERROR_ENCODE
used when encoding fails.
GST_STREAM_ERROR_DEMUX
used when demuxing fails.
GST_STREAM_ERROR_MUX
used when muxing fails.
GST_STREAM_ERROR_FORMAT
used when the stream is of the wrong format
(for example, wrong caps).
GST_STREAM_ERROR_NUM_ERRORS
the number of stream error types.
