## Detailed Description

Gst::ChildProxy - An interface for multi child elements.

This interface abstracts handling of property sets for child elements. Imagine elements such as mixers or polyphonic generators. They all have multiple Gst::Pad or some kind of voice objects. The element acts as a parent for those child objects. Each child has the same properties.

By implementing this interface the child properties can be accessed from the parent element by using get_proxy_property() and set_proxy_property().

Property names are written as "child-name::property-name". The whole naming scheme is recursive. Thus "child1::child2::property" is valid too, if "child1" also implements the Gst::ChildProxy interface.
