+/*
+   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 :).
