/**
 * SECTION:element-proxysrc
 * @title: proxysrc
 *
 * Proxysrc is a source element that proxies events, queries, and buffers from
 * another pipeline that contains a matching proxysink element. The purpose is
 * to allow two decoupled pipelines to function as though they are one without
 * having to manually shuttle buffers, events, queries, etc between the two.
 *
 * The element queues buffers from the matching proxysink to an internal queue,
 * so everything downstream is properly decoupled from the upstream pipeline.
 * However, the queue may get filled up if the downstream pipeline does not
 * accept buffers quickly enough; perhaps because it is not yet PLAYING.
 *
 * ## Usage
 * 
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * GstElement *pipe1, *pipe2, *psink, *psrc;
 * GstClock *clock;
 *
 * pipe1 = gst_parse_launch ("audiotestsrc ! proxysink name=psink", NULL);
 * psink = gst_bin_get_by_name (GST_BIN (pipe1), "psink");
 *
 * pipe2 = gst_parse_launch ("proxysrc name=psrc ! autoaudiosink", NULL);
 * psrc = gst_bin_get_by_name (GST_BIN (pipe2), "psrc");
 *
 * // Connect the two pipelines
 * g_object_set (psrc, "proxysink", psink, NULL);
 *
 * // Both pipelines must agree on the timing information or we'll get glitches
 * // or overruns/underruns. Ideally, we should tell pipe1 to use the same clock
 * // as pipe2, but since that will be set asynchronously to the audio clock, it
 * // is simpler and likely accurate enough to use the system clock for both
 * // pipelines. If no element in either pipeline will provide a clock, this
 * // is not needed.
 * clock = gst_system_clock_obtain ();
 * gst_pipeline_use_clock (GST_PIPELINE (pipe1), clock);
 * gst_pipeline_use_clock (GST_PIPELINE (pipe2), clock);
 * g_object_unref (clock);
 *
 * // This is not really needed in this case since the pipelines are created and
 * // started at the same time. However, an application that dynamically
 * // generates pipelines must ensure that all the pipelines that will be
 * // connected together share the same base time.
 * gst_element_set_base_time (pipe1, 0);
 * gst_element_set_base_time (pipe2, 0);
 *
 * gst_element_set_state (pipe1, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
 * gst_element_set_state (pipe2, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
