Where is GstElement properties description?

Question

I have recently started working with gstreamer-1.0, this is the first time I am working with a multimedia framework. I usually learn by looking at tutorials and already available implementations. The tutorial and documentation are good but I am not able to find descriptions on various properties of GstElement. gst-inspect-1.0 provides one line description of the properties when looked up with element type.

signal-handoffs     : Send a signal before pushing the buffer
                      flags: readable, writable
                      Boolean. Default: true
silent              : silent
                      flags: readable, writable
                      Boolean. Default: true
single-segment      : Timestamp buffers and eat segments so as to appear as one segment
                      flags: readable, writable
                      Boolean. Default: false

It would be really helpful if someone can guide me to some source of information regarding the aforementioned or something that I should read up on.

Answer 1

1. GstElement derives from gobject, and from which got the property feature. You can refer to gobject property feature if you'd like

2. Then you can refer to gstreamer property to see how to add a property for element.

3. The meaning of one specific property of one element depends. You can view the source code refer to the second step
