## Implemented Interfaces

RBSource implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkOrientable.

## Description

This class provides methods for requesting information about the UI capabilities of the source, and defines the expectations that apply to all sources - that they will provide RBEntryView and RhythmDBQueryModel objects, mostly.

Many of the methods on this class come in can_do_x and do_x pairs. When can_do_x always returns FALSE, the class does not need to implement the do_x method.

Useful subclasses include RBBrowserSource, which includes a RBLibraryBrowser and takes care of constructing an RBEntryView too; RBRemovableMediaSource, which takes care of many aspects of implementing a source that represents a removable device; and RBPlaylistSource, which provides functionality for playlist-like sources.
