/**
 * SECTION:gstqueue
 * @short_description: Simple asynchronous data queue.
 *
 * Data is queued till max_level buffers have been stored. Any subsequent
 * buffers sent to this filter will block until free space becomes available in
 * the buffer. The queue is typically used in conjunction with a thread.
 * 
 * You can query how many buffers are queued with the level argument.
 * 
 * The default queue length is set to 100.
 * 
 * The queue blocks by default.
