+ * @short_description: Generate indexes on objects
+ * @see_also: #GstIndexFactory
+ *
+ * GstIndex is used to generate a stream index of one or more elements
+ * in a pipeline.
+ *
+ * Elements will overload the set_index and get_index virtual methods in
+ * #GstElement. When streaming data, the element will add index entries if it
+ * has an index set.
+ *
+ * Each element that adds to the index will do that using a writer_id. The
+ * writer_id is obtained from gst_index_get_writer_id().
+ *
+ * The application that wants to index the stream will create a new index object
+ * using gst_index_new() or gst_index_factory_make(). The index is assigned to a
+ * specific element, a bin or the whole pipeline. This will cause indexable
+ * elements to add entires to the index while playing.
+ */
+
+/* FIXME: complete gobject annotations */
+/* FIXME-0.11: cleanup API
+ * - no one seems to use GstIndexGroup, GstIndexCertainty
+ *
+ * - the API for application to use the index is mostly missing
+ * - apps need to get a list of writers
+ * - apps need to be able to iterate over each writers index entry collection
+ * - gst_index_get_assoc_entry() should pass ownership
+ * - the GstIndexEntry structure is large and contains repetitive information
+ * - we want to allow Indexers to implement a saner storage and create
+ * GstIndexEntries on demand (the app has to free them), might even make
+ * sense to ask the app to provide a ptr and fill it.
