* Playbin handles buffering automatically. When playbin is buffering, it

* Playbin handles buffering automatically for the most part, but applications
* need to handle parts of the buffering process as well. Whenever playbin is
* buffering, it will post BUFFERING messages on the bus with a percentage
* value that shows the progress of the buffering process. Applications need
* to set playbin to PLAYING or PAUSED state in response to these messages.
* They may also want to convey the buffering progress to the user in some
* way. Here is how to extract the percentage information from the message
