 * @short_description: Lightweight objects to signal the application of
 *                     pipeline events
 * @see_also: #GstBus, #GstMiniObject, #GstElement
 *
 * Messages are implemented as a subclass of #GstMiniObject with a generic
 * #GstStructure as the content. This allows for writing custom messages without
 * requiring an API change while allowing a wide range of different types
 * of messages.
 *
 * Messages are posted by objects in the pipeline and are passed to the
 * application using the #GstBus.
 *
 * The basic use pattern of posting a message on a #GstBus is as follows:
 * |[
 *   gst_bus_post (bus, gst_message_new_eos());
 * ]|
 *
 * A #GstElement usually posts messages on the bus provided by the parent
 * container using gst_element_post_message().
