For elements that performed an ASYNC state change, as reported by gst_element_set_state(), this function will block up to the specified timeout value for the state change to complete. If the element completes the state change or goes into an error, this function returns immediately with a return value of GST_STATE_CHANGE_SUCCESS* or GST_STATE_CHANGE_FAILURE respectively. For elements that did not return GST_STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC, this function returns the current and pending state immediately. This function returns GST_STATE_CHANGE_NO_PREROLL if the element successfully changed its state but is not able to provide data yet. This mostly happens for live sources that only produce data in GST_STATE_PLAYING. While the state change return is equivalent to GST_STATE_CHANGE_SUCCESS, it is returned to the application to signal that some sink elements might not be able to complete their state change because an element is not producing data to complete the preroll. When setting the element to playing, the preroll will complete and playback will start. MT safe.

The element will be restored to its PLAYING state by the parent pipeline when it prerolls again. This is mostly used for elements that lost their preroll buffer in the GST_STATE_PAUSED or GST_STATE_PLAYING state after a flush, they will go to their pending state again when a new preroll buffer is queued.

This function emits the GstElement::no-more-pads signal. MT safe. Returns: none	Gst.Element
	post_message (Message *message) : Boolean Post a message on the element's GstBus. Post a message on the element's GstBus.

The start time of the element is the running time of the element when it last went to the PAUSED state. In READY or after a flushing seek, it is set to 0. Toplevel elements like GstPipeline* will manage the start_time and base_time on its children. Setting the start_time to GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE on such a toplevel element will disable the distribution of the base_time to the children and can be useful if the application manages the base_time itself, for example if you want to synchronize capture from multiple pipelines, and you can also ensure that the pipelines have the same clock.
