## Detailed Description

### template <class T_Interface>
class Gst::ElementInterfaced< T_Interface >

A templated class used for casting Gst::Element to interfaces that its underlying gobject implements.

Gst::ElementInterfaced is a templated class which, in conjunction with Gst::Interface::cast(), is used to cast a Gst::Element obtained by Gst::ElementFactory::create_element() into underlying GStreamer interfaces that the element may implement. A 'filesrc' element, for example, implements the Gst::URIHandler interface (which is not reflected in a Gst::Element obtained from a Gst::ElementFactory). To use the Gst::URIHandler methods with a 'filesrc' element obtained from a Gst::ElementFactory, one would do the following:

     ...
     Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Element> element =
     Gst::ElementFactory::create_element("filesrc", "source");

     Glib::RefPtr< Gst::ElementInterfaced<Gst::URIHandler> > handler =
       Gst::Interface::cast<Gst::URIHandler>(element);

     if(handler)
     {
       std::cout << "element '" << element->get_name() <<
         "' implements URIHandler interface." << std::endl;

       // Use uri handler interface methods:

       handler->set_uri("file:///tmp/media.file");

       std::cout << handler->get_name() << " uri = '" << handler->get_uri() <<
         "'." << std::endl;
     }
