ElementClass.setStaticMetadata

Sets the detailed information for a gstreamer.ElementClass

> This function is for use in _class_init functions only.

Same as Element.classSetMetadata, but longname, classification, description, and author must be static strings or inlined strings, as they will not be copied. (GStreamer plugins will be made resident once loaded, so this function can be used even from dynamically loaded plugins.)

Name and contact details of the author(s). Use \n to separate multiple author metadata. E.g: "Joe Bloggs <joe.blogs at foo.com>"
