/*
   This is the GStreamer backend for unix. Currently we require 0.8 or
   0.10. Here we use the "playbin" GstElement for ease of use.

   Note that now we compare state change functions to GST_STATE_FAILURE
   now rather than GST_STATE_SUCCESS as newer gstreamer versions return
   non-success values for returns that are otherwise successful but not
   immediate.

   Also this probably doesn't work with anything other than wxGTK at the
   moment but with a tad bit of work it could theorectically work in
   straight wxX11 et al.

   One last note is that resuming from pausing/seeking can result
   in erratic video playback (GStreamer-based bug, happens in totem as well)
   - this is better in 0.10, however. One thing that might make it worse
   here is that we don't preserve the aspect ratio of the video and stretch
   it to the whole window.

   Note that there are some things used here that could be undocumented -
   for reference see the media player Kiss and Totem as well as some
   other sources. There was a backend for a kde media player as well
   that attempted thread-safety...

   Then there is the issue of m_asynclock. This serves several purposes:
   1) It prevents the C callbacks from sending wx state change events
      so that we don't get duplicate ones in 0.8
   2) It makes the sync and async handlers in 0.10 not drop any
      messages so that while we are polling it we get the messages in
      SyncStateChange instead of the queue.
   3) Keeps the pausing in Stop() synchronous

   RN: Note that I've tried to follow the wxGTK conventions here as close
   as possible. In the implementation the C Callbacks come first, then
   the internal functions, then the public ones. Set your vi to 80
   characters people :).
