/**
 * #GstObject provides a root for the object hierarchy tree filed in by the
 * GStreamer library.  It is currently a thin wrapper on top of
 * #GInitiallyUnowned. It is an abstract class that is not very usable on its own.
 * 
 * #GstObject gives us basic refcounting, parenting functionality and locking.
 * Most of the functions are just extended for special GStreamer needs and can be
 * found under the same name in the base class of #GstObject which is #GObject
 * (e.g. g_object_ref() becomes gst_object_ref()).
 * 
 * Since #GstObject derives from #GInitiallyUnowned, it also inherits the
 * floating reference. Be aware that functions such as gst_bin_add() and
 * gst_element_add_pad() take ownership of the floating reference.
 * 
 * In contrast to #GObject instances, #GstObject adds a name property. The functions
 * gst_object_set_name() and gst_object_get_name() are used to set/get the name
 * of the object.
 * 
 * ## controlled properties
 * 
 * Controlled properties offers a lightweight way to adjust gobject properties
 * over stream-time. It works by using time-stamped value pairs that are queued
 * for element-properties. At run-time the elements continuously pull value
 * changes for the current stream-time.
 * 
 * What needs to be changed in a #GstElement?
 * Very little - it is just two steps to make a plugin controllable!
 * 
 * * mark gobject-properties paramspecs that make sense to be controlled,
 * by GST_PARAM_CONTROLLABLE.
 * 
 * * when processing data (get, chain, loop function) at the beginning call
 * gst_object_sync_values(element,timestamp).
 * This will make the controller update all GObject properties that are
 * under its control with the current values based on the timestamp.
 * 
 * What needs to be done in applications? Again it's not a lot to change.
 * 
 * * create a #GstControlSource.
 * csource = gst_interpolation_control_source_new ();
 * g_object_set (csource, "mode", GST_INTERPOLATION_MODE_LINEAR, NULL);
 * 
 * * Attach the #GstControlSource on the controller to a property.
 * gst_object_add_control_binding (object, gst_direct_control_binding_new (object, "prop1", csource));
 * 
 * * Set the control values
 * gst_timed_value_control_source_set ((GstTimedValueControlSource *)csource,0 * GST_SECOND, value1);
 * gst_timed_value_control_source_set ((GstTimedValueControlSource *)csource,1 * GST_SECOND, value2);
 * 
 * * start your pipeline
