 *                               because it will be clipped against the segment

 *                               that should be shown to the user.
 * @GST_BUFFER_FLAG_DISCONT:     the buffer marks a data discontinuity in the stream.
 *                               This typically occurs after a seek or a dropped buffer
 *                               from a live or network source.
 * @GST_BUFFER_FLAG_RESYNC:      the buffer timestamps might have a discontinuity
 *                               and this buffer is a good point to resynchronize.

 * @GST_BUFFER_FLAG_MARKER:      the buffer contains a media specific marker. for
 *                               video this is typically the end of a frame boundary, for audio
 *                               this is usually the end of a talkspurt.
 * @GST_BUFFER_FLAG_HEADER:      the buffer contains header information that is
 *                               needed to decode the following data. The buffer
 *                               is also part of the headers of the STREAM_CONFIG event.
 * @GST_BUFFER_FLAG_GAP:         the buffer has been created to fill a gap in the
 *                               stream and contains media neutral data (elements can
 *                               switch to optimized code path that ignores the buffer
 *                               content).
 * @GST_BUFFER_FLAG_DROPPABLE:   the buffer can be dropped without breaking the
 *                               stream, for example to reduce bandwidth.
 * @GST_BUFFER_FLAG_DELTA_UNIT:  this unit cannot be decoded independently.
 * @GST_BUFFER_FLAG_LAST:        additional media specific flags can be added starting from
 *                               this flag.
