## Implemented Interfaces

GstInsertBin implements GstChildProxy.

## Description

This element is a GstBin that has a single source and sink pad. It allows the user (the application) to easily add and remove filter-like element (that has a single source and sink pad), to the pipeline while it is running. It features a fully asynchronous API inspired by GLib's GAsyncResult based APIs.

Each operation (addition or removal) can take a callback, this callback is guaranteed to be called. Unlike GIO, there is no guarantee about where this callback will be called from, it could be called before the action returns or it could be called later from another thread. The signature of this callback `GstInsertBinCallback()`.

## Functions

### GstInsertBinCallback ()

    void
    (*GstInsertBinCallback) (GstInsertBin *insertbin,
                             GstElement *element,
                             gboolean success,
                             gpointer user_data);

This is the prototype of callbacks to be called when the operation completes. It could be called at any time, including as a re-entrant call while the operation is requested.

#### Parameters

insertbin | A GstInsertBin |
element | The GstElement on which the operation was performed |
success | `TRUE` if the operation was successful |
user_data | The user data passed |

### gst_insert_bin_new ()

    GstElement *
    gst_insert_bin_new (const gchar *name);

Creates a new GstInsertBin

#### Parameters

name | The name of the new GstInsertBin element (or `NULL`). | [allow-none]

#### Returns

The new GstInsertBin
