                                                            (GstCaps *caps,
                                                             int *par_n,
                                                             int *par_d);

Extracts the pixel aspect ratio from `caps` and places the values in the locations pointed to by `par_n` and `par_d`. Returns TRUE if the values could be parsed correctly, FALSE if not.

This function can be used with GstCaps that have any media type; it is not limited to formats handled by GstVideoFormat.

`caps` : | pointer to a GstCaps instance
`par_n` : | pointer to numerator of pixel aspect ratio (output)
`par_d` : | pointer to denominator of pixel aspect ratio (output)
Returns : | TRUE if `caps` was parsed correctly.
