/**
 * SECTION:gstcollectpads2
 * @short_description: manages a set of pads that operate in collect mode
 * @see_also:
 *
 * Manages a set of pads that operate in collect mode. This means that control
 * is given to the manager of this object when all pads have data.
 * <itemizedlist>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     Collectpads are created with gst_collect_pads2_new(). A callback should then
 *     be installed with gst_collect_pads2_set_function ().
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     Pads are added to the collection with gst_collect_pads2_add_pad()/
 *     gst_collect_pads2_remove_pad(). The pad
 *     has to be a sinkpad. The chain and event functions of the pad are
 *     overridden. The element_private of the pad is used to store
 *     private information for the collectpads.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     For each pad, data is queued in the _chain function or by
 *     performing a pull_range.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     When data is queued on all pads in waiting mode, the callback function is called.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     Data can be dequeued from the pad with the gst_collect_pads2_pop() method.
 *     One can peek at the data with the gst_collect_pads2_peek() function.
 *     These functions will return NULL if the pad received an EOS event. When all
 *     pads return NULL from a gst_collect_pads2_peek(), the element can emit an EOS
 *     event itself.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     Data can also be dequeued in byte units using the gst_collect_pads2_available(),
 *     gst_collect_pads2_read() and gst_collect_pads2_flush() calls.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     Elements should call gst_collect_pads2_start() and gst_collect_pads2_stop() in
 *     their state change functions to start and stop the processing of the collectpads.
 *     The gst_collect_pads2_stop() call should be called before calling the parent
 *     element state change function in the PAUSED_TO_READY state change to ensure
 *     no pad is blocked and the element can finish streaming.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     gst_collect_pads2_collect() and gst_collect_pads2_collect_range() can be used by
 *     elements that start a #GstTask to drive the collect_pads2. This feature is however
 *     not yet implemented.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     gst_collect_pads2_set_waiting() sets a pad to waiting or non-waiting mode.
 *     CollectPads element is not waiting for data to be collected on non-waiting pads.
 *     Thus these pads may but need not have data when the callback is called.
 *     All pads are in waiting mode by default.
 *   </para></listitem>
