This function is used internally to GStreamer to be able to determine which
events and messages are "the same". For example, elements may set the seqnum
on a segment-done message to be the same as that of the last seek event, to
indicate that event and the message correspond to the same segment.
This function never returns GST_SEQNUM_INVALID (which is 0).
A constantly incrementing 32-bit unsigned integer, which might
overflow at some point. Use gst_util_seqnum_compare() to make sure
you handle wraparound correctly.
Return a constantly incrementing sequence number.
