Event probe does not indicate whether to forward or drop events.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Current signature of event probe (Pad.EVENT_PROBE) is:

    public static interface EVENT_PROBE {
        public void eventReceived(Pad pad, Event event);
    }

Having boolean as the return type would enable us to choose whether to
forward or drop events at the pad. At the moment, they seem to be dropped
silently. Returning a boolean value would help match the "have-data" signal
signature of:

gboolean user_function (GstPad *, GstMiniObject *mini_obj, gpointer data);

Shouldn't be 

public static interface HAVE_DATA {
    public void haveData(Pad pad, MiniObject data);
}

the signal interface with the callback function returning a boolean value, 
instead of
EVENT_PROBE?

Right now I'm working in the 1.2 release, so I could include this improvement.

andres,

yes, returning a boolean value which determines whether the data is forwarded or
dropped is important. so that would be:

public static interface HAVE_DATA {
    public *boolean* haveData(Pad pad, MiniObject data);
}

right?
