/**
 * GstBinFlags:
 * @GST_BIN_FLAG_MANAGER: this bin is a manager of child elements, i.e.
 * a pipeline or thread.
 * @GST_BIN_SELF_SCHEDULABLE: the bin iterates itself.
 * @GST_BIN_FLAG_PREFER_COTHREADS: we prefer to have cothreads when its
 * an option, over chain-based.
 * @GST_BIN_FLAG_FIXED_CLOCK: bin has one clock that cannot be changed.
 * @GST_BIN_STATE_LOCKED: indicator that we are in a non-recursive
 * state-change on the bin, or that kids should not change parent state.
 * Both are internally used to prevent infinitely recursive loops of
 * state changes. Since they are mutually exclusive and serve the same
 * purpose, we use the same flag for them.
 * @GST_BIN_FLAG_LAST: the last enum in the series of flags in a bin,
 * derived classes can use this as first value in a list of flags.
 *
 * GstBinFlags are a set of flags specific to bins. Most are set/used
 * internally. They can be checked using the GST_FLAG_IS_SET () macro,
 * and (un)set using GST_FLAG_SET () and GST_FLAG_UNSET ().
