/**
 * SECTION:gstbin
 * @short_description: Base class for elements that contain other elements
 *
 * GstBin is the simplest of the container elements, allowing elements to
 * become children of itself.  Pads from the child elements can be ghosted to
 * the bin, making the bin itself look transparently like any other element,
 * allowing for deep nesting of predefined sub-pipelines.
 *
 * A new GstBin is created with gst_bin_new(). Use a #GstPipeline instead if you
 * want to create a toplevel bin because a normal bin doesn't have a bus or
 * handle clock distribution of its own.
 *
 * After the bin has been created you will typically add elements to it with
 * gst_bin_add(). You can remove elements with gst_bin_remove().
 *
 * An element can be retrieved from a bin with gst_bin_get_by_name(), using the
 * elements name. gst_bin_get_by_name_recurse_up() is mainly used for internal
 * purposes and will query the parent bins when the element is not found in the
 * current bin.
 *
 * An iterator of elements in a bin can be retrieved with
 * gst_bin_iterate_elements(). Various other iterators exist to retrieve the
 * elements in a bin.
 *
 * The "element_added" signal is fired whenever a new element is added to the
 * bin. Likewise the "element_removed" signal is fired whenever an element is
 * removed from the bin.
 *
 * gst_object_unref() is used to destroy the bin.
