41  **** Background
42  *
43  * This implements a way to send and receive event for an object (which can be
44  * a simple C struct or less).
45  *
46  * This is in direct concurrency with the Variable based Callback
47  * (see src/misc/variables.c).
48  *
49  * It has the following advantages over Variable based Callback:
50  * - No need to implement the whole VLC_COMMON_MEMBERS in the object,
51  * thus it reduce it size. This is especially true for input_item_t which
52  * doesn't have VLC_COMMON_MEMBERS. This is the first reason of existence of
53  * this implementation.
54  * - Libvlc can easily be based upon that.
55  * - Existing event are clearly declared (in include/vlc_events.h)
56  *
57  *
58  **** Example usage
59  *
