[gst-devel] Confusion about GstEventMask structure...

[Benjamin Otte]

If you want my opinion: The current event API/code sucks.
I don't understand this either and I consider myself quite good in
GStreamer.
I don't want to have flags, methods and types in one int. That's
confusing like hell.
I don't know if GstEventFlags are even used, or I could look it up. :/

Company,
who just tried to write a new plugin.
