public class void set_static_metadata (string longname, string classification, string description, string author)
Sets the detailed information for a Element.
> This function is for use in _class_init functions only.
Same as set_metadata, but longname, classification,
description, and author must be static strings or inlined strings, as they will not be copied. (GStreamer
plugins will be made resident once loaded, so this function can be used even from dynamically loaded plugins.)
