/**
 * Padtemplates describe the possible media types a pad or an elementfactory can
 * handle. This allows for both inspection of handled types before loading the
 * element plugin as well as identifying pads on elements that are not yet
 * created (request or sometimes pads).
 * 
 * Pad and PadTemplates have #GstCaps attached to it to describe the media type
 * they are capable of dealing with. gst_pad_template_get_caps() or
 * GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_CAPS() are used to get the caps of a padtemplate. It's not
 * possible to modify the caps of a padtemplate after creation.
 * 
 * PadTemplates have a #GstPadPresence property which identifies the lifetime
 * of the pad and that can be retrieved with GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_PRESENCE(). Also
 * the direction of the pad can be retrieved from the #GstPadTemplate with
 * GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_DIRECTION().
 * 
 * The GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_NAME_TEMPLATE () is important for GST_PAD_REQUEST pads
 * because it has to be used as the name in the gst_element_get_request_pad()
 * call to instantiate a pad from this template.
 * 
 * Padtemplates can be created with gst_pad_template_new() or with
 * gst_static_pad_template_get (), which creates a #GstPadTemplate from a
 * #GstStaticPadTemplate that can be filled with the
 * convenient GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE() macro.
 * 
 * A padtemplate can be used to create a pad (see gst_pad_new_from_template()
 * or gst_pad_new_from_static_template ()) or to add to an element class
 * (see gst_element_class_add_static_pad_template ()).
 * 
 * The following code example shows the code to create a pad from a padtemplate.
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * GstStaticPadTemplate my_template =
 * GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE (
 * "sink",          // the name of the pad
 * GST_PAD_SINK,    // the direction of the pad
 * GST_PAD_ALWAYS,  // when this pad will be present
 * GST_STATIC_CAPS (        // the capabilities of the padtemplate
 * "audio/x-raw, "
 * "channels = (int) [ 1, 6 ]"
 * )
 * );
 * void
 * my_method (void)
 * {
 * GstPad *pad;
 * pad = gst_pad_new_from_static_template (&amp;my_template, "sink");
 * ...
 * }
 * ]|
 * 
 * The following example shows you how to add the padtemplate to an
 * element class, this is usually done in the class_init of the class:
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * static void
 * my_element_class_init (GstMyElementClass *klass)
 * {
 * GstElementClass *gstelement_class = GST_ELEMENT_CLASS (klass);
 * 
 * gst_element_class_add_static_pad_template (gstelement_class, &amp;my_template);
 * }
 * ]|
