/**
 * GstMessageType:
 * @GST_MESSAGE_UNKNOWN: an undefined message
 * @GST_MESSAGE_EOS: end-of-stream reached in a pipeline. The application will
 * only receive this message in the PLAYING state and every time it sets a
 * pipeline to PLAYING that is in the EOS state. The application can perform a
 * flushing seek in the pipeline, which will undo the EOS state again. 
 * @GST_MESSAGE_ERROR: an error occured. Whe the application receives an error
 * message it should stop playback of the pipeline and not assume that more
 * data will be played.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_WARNING: a warning occured.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_INFO: an info message occured
 * @GST_MESSAGE_TAG: a tag was found.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_BUFFERING: the pipeline is buffering. When the application
 * receives a buffering message in the PLAYING state for a non-live pipeline it
 * must PAUSE the pipeline until the buffering completes, when the percentage
 * field in the message is 100%. For live pipelines, no action must be
 * performed and the buffering percentage can be used to inform the user about
 * the progress.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_STATE_CHANGED: a state change happened
 * @GST_MESSAGE_STATE_DIRTY: an element changed state in a streaming thread.
 * This message is deprecated.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_STEP_DONE: a framestep finished. This message is not yet
 * implemented.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_CLOCK_PROVIDE: an element notifies its capability of providing
 *                             a clock. This message is used internally and
 *                             never forwarded to the application.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_CLOCK_LOST: The current clock as selected by the pipeline became
 *                          unusable. The pipeline will select a new clock on
 *                          the next PLAYING state change.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_NEW_CLOCK: a new clock was selected in the pipeline.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_STRUCTURE_CHANGE: the structure of the pipeline changed. This
 * message is used internally and never forwarded to the application.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_STREAM_STATUS: status about a stream, emitted when it starts,
 *                             stops, errors, etc.. Not implemented yet.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_APPLICATION: message posted by the application, possibly
 *                           via an application-specific element.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_ELEMENT: element-specific message, see the specific element's
 *                       documentation
 * @GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_START: pipeline started playback of a segment. This
 * message is used internally and never forwarded to the application.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE: pipeline completed playback of a segment. This
 * message is forwarded to the application after all elements that posted
 * @GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_START posted a GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE message.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_DURATION: The duration of a pipeline changed. The application
 * can get the new duration with a duration query.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_START: Posted by elements when they start an ASYNC state
 * change. This message is not forwarded to the application but is used
 * internally. Since: 0.10.13. 
 * @GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_DONE: Posted by elements when they complete an ASYNC state
 * change. The application will only receive this message from the toplevel
 * pipeline. Since: 0.10.13
 * @GST_MESSAGE_LATENCY: Posted by elements when their latency changes. The
 * pipeline will calculate and distribute a new latency. Since: 0.10.12
 * @GST_MESSAGE_REQUEST_STATE: Posted by elements when they want the pipeline to
 * change state. This message is a suggestion to the application which can
 * decide to perform the state change on (part of) the pipeline. Since: 0.10.23.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_STEP_START: A stepping operation was started.
 * @GST_MESSAGE_ANY: mask for all of the above messages.
 *
 * The different message types that are available.
