+ * gst_base_src_push_segment:
+ * @src: a #GstBaseSrc
+ * @segment: a pointer to a #GstSegment
+ *
+ * Send a new segment downstream. This function must
+ * only be called by derived sub-classes, and only from the #GstBaseSrcClass::create function,
+ * as the stream-lock needs to be held.
+ * This method also requires that an out caps has been configured, so
+ * gst_base_src_set_caps() needs to have been called before.
+ *
+ * The format for the @segment must be identical with the current format
+ * of the source, as configured with gst_base_src_set_format().
+ *
+ * The format of @src must not be %GST_FORMAT_UNDEFINED and the format
+ * should be configured via gst_base_src_set_format() before calling this method.
+ *
+ * This is a variant of gst_base_src_new_segment() sending the segment right away,
+ * which can be useful to ensure events ordering.
+ *
+ * Returns: %TRUE if sending of new segment succeeded.
+ *
+ * Since: 1.24
