            Bug ID: 766002
           Summary: Doc: GST_PAD_PROBE_TYPE_IDLE doc is misleading
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: documentation
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: xclaesse at gmail.com
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

The doc says: "probe idle pads and block"

But if I return GST_PAD_PROBE_OK from that probe, it won't block the stream
anymore, unlike a GST_PAD_PROBE_TYPE_BLOCK_DOWNSTREAM probe.

So if I want a probe that fire on idle AND block (as doc suggests) I must pass:
GST_PAD_PROBE_TYPE_IDLE | GST_PAD_PROBE_TYPE_BLOCK |
GST_PAD_PROBE_TYPE_DATA_DOWNSTREAM

part-probes.txt is not clearer, it even more suggest that returning OK from an
IDLE probe should keep it blocked.

Or maybe it is the implementation that's wrong?
