           Summary: Gstreamer documentation lacks useful cross-repo
                    inheritance links.
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: documentation
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: douglas at halo.gen.nz
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


GObjects in the plugin repositories know that they inherit from gstreamer or
gstreamer/libs or -base, but the knowledge is one way.

Thus, if you navigate up the object hierarchy from
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-base-plugins/html/gst-plugins-base-plugins-volume.html
you come to pages like
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstElement.html#GstElement.object-hierarchy
which doesn't even know about GstBaseTransform from gstreamer/libs, while the
GstBaseTransform doesn't know of any subclasses.

A list of pointers to example uses is exactly the kind of documentation
something like GstBaseTransform needs.


Related to #697768, in that I am cross with gtk-doc.
