send_event

Description:

public virtual bool send_event (owned Event event)

Sends an event to an element.

If the element doesn't implement an event handler, the event will be pushed on a random linked sink pad for downstream events or a random linked source pad for upstream events.

This function takes ownership of the provided event so you should gst_event_ref it if you want to reuse the event after this call.

MT safe.

Parameters:

this	a Element to send the event to.
event	the Event to send to the element.

Returns:

true if the event was handled. Events that trigger a preroll (such as flushing seeks and steps) will emit ASYNC_DONE.
