Description Joshua N Pritikin 2002-11-24 06:46:56 UTC 
Where is the clear-cut documentation that describes when and when not to
call gst_event_unref?
Comment 1 Ronald Bultje 2002-11-24 10:30:42 UTC 
Basically, never (for an application).

It sends an event to a pipeline, which then takes ownership of the
event, treating it just like any GstData* object. When the event has
been used by some plugin, it unref()s it automatically, just like it
would do with a GstBuffer*. So applications don't need to unref()
anything here.

What i want is the documentation updated.  Is this patch OK?
