These methods allow to use some GstController functionallity directly from the GObject class.
GstController* gst_object_control_properties (GObject *object, ...);
Convenience function for GObject
Creates a GstController that allows you to dynamically control one, or more, GObject properties. If the given GObject already has a GstController, it adds the given properties to the existing controller and returns that controller.
| object: | the object of which some properties should be controlled | 
| ...: | NULLterminated list of property names that should be controlled | 
| Returns : | The GstController with which the user can control the given properties dynamically or NULL if one or more of the given properties aren't available, or cannot be controlled, for the given element. | 
Since 0.9

Convenience function for GObject
Removes the given element's properties from it's controller
| object: | the object of which some properties should not be controlled anymore | 
| ...: | NULLterminated list of property names that should be controlled |

controller,TRUEotherwise | 
Since 0.9
GstController* gst_object_get_controller (GObject *object);

Sets the controller on the given GObject
| object: | the object that should get the controller | 
| controller: | the controller object to plug in | 
| Returns : | FALSEif the GObject already has an controller,TRUEotherwise | 
Since 0.9
GstClockTime gst_object_suggest_next_sync (GObject *object);
Convenience function for GObject
| object: | the object that has controlled properties | 
| Returns : | same thing as gst_controller_suggest_next_sync() | 
Since 0.10.13
gboolean            gst_object_sync_values              (GObject *object,

Convenience function for GObject
| object: | the object that has controlled properties | 
| timestamp: | the time that should be processed | 
| Returns : | same thing as gst_controller_sync_values() | 
Since 0.9
GstControlSource* gst_object_get_control_source (GObject *object, gchar *property_name);
Gets the corresponding GstControlSource for the property. This should be unreferenced again after use.
| object: | the object | 
| property_name: | name of the property for which the GstControlSource should be get | 
| Returns : | the GstControlSource for property_nameor NULL if the property is not
controlled by this controller or no GstControlSource was assigned yet. | 
Since 0.10.14
gboolean            gst_object_set_control_source       (GObject *object,
                                                         gchar *property_name,
                                                         GstControlSource *csource);
Sets the GstControlSource for property_name. If there already was a GstControlSource
for this property it will be unreferenced.
| object: | the controller object | 
| property_name: | name of the property for which the GstControlSource should be set | 
| csource: | the GstControlSource that should be used for the property | 
| Returns : | FALSEif the given property isn't handled by the controller or the new GstControlSource
couldn't be bound to the property,TRUEif everything worked as expected. | 
Since 0.10.14
gboolean            gst_object_get_value_arrays         (GObject *object,
                                                         GstClockTime timestamp,
                                                         GSList *value_arrays);
Function to be able to get an array of values for one or more given element properties.
If the GstValueArray->values array in list nodes is NULL, it will be created by the function. The type of the values in the array are the same as the property's type.
The g_object_* functions are just convenience functions for GObject
| object: | the object that has controlled properties | 
| timestamp: | the time that should be processed | 
| value_arrays: | list to return the control-values in | 
| Returns : | TRUEif the given array(s) could be filled,FALSEotherwise | 
Since 0.9

Function to be able to get an array of values for one element properties
If the GstValueArray->values array is NULL, it will be created by the function. The type of the values in the array are the same as the property's type.
The g_object_* functions are just convenience functions for GObject
| object: | the object that has controlled properties | 
| timestamp: | the time that should be processed | 
| value_array: | array to put control-values in | 
| Returns : | TRUEif the given array(s) could be filled,FALSEotherwise | 
Since 0.9
GstClockTime gst_object_get_control_rate (GObject *object);
Obtain the control-rate for this object. Audio processing GstElement
objects will use this rate to sub-divide their processing loop and call
gst_object_sync_values() inbetween. The length of the processing segment
should be up to control-rate nanoseconds.
If the object is not under property control, this will return
GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE. This allows the element to avoid the sub-dividing.
The control-rate is not expected to change if the element is in
GST_STATE_PAUSED or GST_STATE_PLAYING.
| object: | the object that has controlled properties | 
| Returns : | the control rate in nanoseconds | 
Since 0.10.10
void                gst_object_set_control_rate         (GObject *object,
                                                         GstClockTime control_rate);
Change the control-rate for this object. Audio processing GstElement
objects will use this rate to sub-divide their processing loop and call
gst_object_sync_values() inbetween. The length of the processing segment
should be up to control-rate nanoseconds.
The control-rate should not change if the element is in GST_STATE_PAUSED or
GST_STATE_PLAYING.

| control_rate: | the new control-rate in nanoseconds. |
