g_main_loop_run() will block until g_main_loop_quit() is called. It's a
normal event loop.

If you want to use a GMainLoop, you probably want to run it in a
different thread to not block your C# application's event loop. You
don't have to use one though, you can also integrate the GstBus in
whatever event loop you have in your application already.


Also, did you see the C# bindings for GStreamer? That way you don't
have to P/invoke and write C code.
