/**
 * 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 is sufficient.
 *
 * There is only support in GstBaseSink for 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
 * PAUSED. 
 *
 * When the element is set to PLAYING, #GstBaseSink will synchronize 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 synchronize 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 would be an audiosink. 
 *
 * 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_NEW_SEGMENT events to schedule
 * synchronisation and clipping of buffers. Buffers that fall completely outside
 * of the 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 the element is EOS, PAUSED or 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 precess 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 that need to handle the newsegment event specially.
 * 
 * #GstBaseSink provides an overridable ::buffer_alloc function that can be used
 * by specific sinks that want to do reverse negotiation or want to provided 
 * hardware accelerated buffers for downstream elements.
 *
 * The ::unlock method is called when the elements should unblock any blocking
 * operations they perform in the ::render method. This is mostly usefull when
 * the ::render method performs a blocking write on a file descripter.
