Description Marc-Andre Lureau 2008-06-17 18:05:49 UTC 
19:42 < wtay> it's basically like _timed_pop_filtered() but it runs the mainloop while waiting
19:43 < wtay> suposedly because you want the mainloop to be run, but in that case it's much 
              better to install a GSource
19:43 < elmarco> right!
[..]
19:45 < __tim> hrm, I thought I added a long blurb to its docs about how evil it is and why, 
               but seems not

        * gst/gstbus.c:
          Make it known that gst_bus_poll() is pure evil (fixes #538810).
