 * @GST_BUFFER_DONTFREE: do not try to free the data when this buffer is

 * @GST_BUFFER_KEY_UNIT: the buffer holds a key unit, a unit that can be
 * decoded independently of other buffers.
 * This flag has been deprecated, see #GST_BUFFER_DELTA_UNIT.
 * @GST_BUFFER_DONTKEEP: the buffer should not be ref()ed, but copied instead
 * before doing anything with it (for specially allocated hw buffers and such)
 * @GST_BUFFER_IN_CAPS: the buffer has been added as a field in a #GstCaps.
 * @GST_BUFFER_DELTA_UNIT: this unit cannot be decoded independently.
 * Since 0.8.5
 * @GST_BUFFER_FLAG_LAST: additional flags can be added starting from this flag.
