ways to pause the pipeline, something i am confused.

[mingqian Han]

Hi all,
    Say, I am going to pause the pipeline, in order to do some realtime change of some elements. I can set the pipeline to PAUSED state to achieve it, and I can also block some pads to pause the pipeline from playing.  What is the difference? Or limitations?

Thanks and regards,

Rafael

setting a pipelined to PAUSED state is the official way, blocking pads
isn't so, by using the second approach, you're going through a lot of
troubles where you may have separate threads (e.g. a tee with a
queue).
