/**
 * SECTION:gstsegment
 * @short_description: Structure describing the configured region of interest
 *                     in a media file.
 * @see_also: #GstEvent
 *
 * This helper structure holds the relevant values for tracking the region of
 * interest in a media file, called a segment.
 *
 * The structure can be used for two purposes:
 * <itemizedlist>
 *   <listitem><para>performing seeks (handling seek events)</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>tracking playback regions (handling newsegment events)</para></listitem>
 * </itemizedlist>
 *
 * The segment is usually configured by the application with a seek event which
 * is propagated upstream and eventually handled by an element that performs the seek.
 *
 * The configured segment is then propagated back downstream with a newsegment event.
 * This information is then used to clip media to the segment boundaries.
 *
 * A segment structure is initialized with gst_segment_init(), which takes a #GstFormat
 * that will be used as the format of the segment values. The segment will be configured
 * with a start value of 0 and a stop/duration of -1, which is undefined. The default
 * rate and applied_rate is 1.0.
 *
 * The public duration field contains the duration of the segment. When using
 * the segment for seeking, the start and time members should normally be left
 * to their default 0 value. The stop position is left to -1 unless explicitly
 * configured to a different value after a seek event.
 *
 * The current position in the segment should be set by changing the position
 * member in the structure.
 *
 * For elements that perform seeks, the current segment should be updated with the
 * gst_segment_do_seek() and the values from the seek event. This method will update
 * all the segment fields. The position field will contain the new playback position.
 * If the cur_type was different from GST_SEEK_TYPE_NONE, playback continues from
 * the position position, possibly with updated flags or rate.
 *
 * For elements that want to use #GstSegment to track the playback region,
 * update the segment fields with the information from the newsegment event.
 * The gst_segment_clip() method can be used to check and clip
 * the media data to the segment boundaries.
 *
 * For elements that want to synchronize to the pipeline clock, gst_segment_to_running_time()
 * can be used to convert a timestamp to a value that can be used to synchronize
 * to the clock. This function takes into account the base as well as
 * any rate or applied_rate conversions.
 *
 * For elements that need to perform operations on media data in stream_time,
 * gst_segment_to_stream_time() can be used to convert a timestamp and the segment
 * info to stream time (which is always between 0 and the duration of the stream).
