/**
 * SECTION:gstbasesink
 * @short_description: Base class for sink elements
 * @see_also: #GstBaseTransform, #GstBaseSource
 *
 * #GstBaseSink is the base class for sink elements in GStreamer, such as
 * xvimagesink or filesink. It is a layer on top of #GstElement that provides a
 * simplified interface to plugin writers. #GstBaseSink handles many details
 * for you, for example: preroll, clock synchronization, state changes,
 * activation in push or pull mode, and queries.
 *
 * In most cases, when writing sink elements, there is no need to implement
 * class methods from #GstElement or to set functions on pads, because the
 * #GstBaseSink infrastructure should be sufficient.
 *
 * #GstBaseSink provides support for exactly one sink pad, which should be
 * named "sink". A sink implementation (subclass of #GstBaseSink) should
 * install a pad template in its base_init function, like so:
 * <programlisting>
 * static void
 * my_element_base_init (gpointer g_class)
 * {
 *   GstElementClass *gstelement_class = GST_ELEMENT_CLASS (g_class);
 *   
 *   // sinktemplate should be a #GstStaticPadTemplate with direction
 *   // #GST_PAD_SINK and name "sink"
 *   gst_element_class_add_pad_template (gstelement_class,
 *       gst_static_pad_template_get (&amp;sinktemplate));
 *   // see #GstElementDetails
 *   gst_element_class_set_details (gstelement_class, &amp;details);
 * }
 * </programlisting>
 *
 * #GstBaseSink will handle the prerolling correctly. This means that it will
 * return #GST_STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC from a state change to PAUSED until the first
 * buffer arrives in this element. The base class will call the
 * #GstBaseSink::preroll vmethod with this preroll buffer and will then commit
 * the state change to the next asynchronously pending state.
 *
 * When the element is set to PLAYING, #GstBaseSink will synchronise on the
 * clock using the times returned from ::get_times. If this function returns
 * #GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE for the start time, no synchronisation will be done.
 * Synchronisation can be disabled entirely by setting the object "sync"
 * property to %FALSE.
 *
 * After synchronisation the virtual method #GstBaseSink::render will be called.
 * Subclasses should minimally implement this method.
 *
 * Since 0.10.3 subclasses that synchronise on the clock in the ::render method
 * are supported as well. These classes typically receive a buffer in the render
 * method and can then potentially block on the clock while rendering. A typical
 * example is an audiosink. Since 0.10.11 these subclasses can use
 * gst_base_sink_wait_preroll() to perform the blocking wait.
 *
 * Upon receiving the EOS event in the PLAYING state, #GstBaseSink will wait
 * for the clock to reach the time indicated by the stop time of the last
 * ::get_times call before posting an EOS message. When the element receives
 * EOS in PAUSED, preroll completes, the event is queued and an EOS message is
 * posted when going to PLAYING.
 *
 * #GstBaseSink will internally use the #GST_EVENT_NEWSEGMENT events to schedule
 * synchronisation and clipping of buffers. Buffers that fall completely outside
 * of the current segment are dropped. Buffers that fall partially in the
 * segment are rendered (and prerolled). Subclasses should do any subbuffer
 * clipping themselves when needed.
 *
 * #GstBaseSink will by default report the current playback position in
 * #GST_FORMAT_TIME based on the current clock time and segment information.
 * If no clock has been set on the element, the query will be forwarded
 * upstream.
 *
 * The ::set_caps function will be called when the subclass should configure
 * itself to process a specific media type.
 *
 * The ::start and ::stop virtual methods will be called when resources should
 * be allocated. Any ::preroll, ::render  and ::set_caps function will be
 * called between the ::start and ::stop calls.
 *
 * The ::event virtual method will be called when an event is received by
 * #GstBaseSink. Normally this method should only be overriden by very specific
 * elements (such as file sinks) which need to handle the newsegment event
 * specially.
 *
 * #GstBaseSink provides an overridable ::buffer_alloc function that can be
 * used by sinks that want to do reverse negotiation or to provide
 * custom buffers (hardware buffers for example) to upstream elements.
 *
 * The ::unlock method is called when the elements should unblock any blocking
 * operations they perform in the ::render method. This is mostly useful when
 * the ::render method performs a blocking write on a file descriptor, for
 * example.
 *
 * The max-lateness property affects how the sink deals with buffers that
 * arrive too late in the sink. A buffer arrives too late in the sink when
 * the presentation time (as a combination of the last segment, buffer
 * timestamp and element base_time) plus the duration is before the current
 * time of the clock.
 * If the frame is later than max-lateness, the sink will drop the buffer
 * without calling the render method.
 * This feature is disabled if sync is disabled, the ::get-times method does
 * not return a valid start time or max-lateness is set to -1 (the default).
 * Subclasses can use gst_base_sink_set_max_lateness() to configure the
 * max-lateness value.
 *
 * The qos property will enable the quality-of-service features of the basesink
 * which gather statistics about the real-time performance of the clock
 * synchronisation. For each buffer received in the sink, statistics are
 * gathered and a QOS event is sent upstream with these numbers. This
 * information can then be used by upstream elements to reduce their processing
 * rate, for example.
 *
 * Since 0.10.15 the async property can be used to instruct the sink to never
 * perform an ASYNC state change. This feature is mostly usable when dealing
 * with non-synchronized streams or sparse streams.
