------- Comment #2 from Andrzej Szombierski  2007-12-26 20:05 UTC -------
The documentation states clearly:
"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."

I wish to synchronously change the state and leave the glib main loop alone, so
waiting for error events is not really an option. Polling with a nonzero
timeout - it will possibly work, but a timeout does not tell me if the
state-change has failed, or it is just taking longer than usual.
