/* a base class for audio sinks.
 *
 * It uses a ringbuffer to schedule playback of samples. This makes
 * it very easy to drop or insert samples to align incomming 
 * buffers to the exact playback timestamp.
 *
 * Subclasses must provide a ringbuffer pointing to either DMA
 * memory or regular memory. A subclass should also call a callback
 * function when it has played N segments in the buffer. The subclass
 * is free to use a thread to signal this callback, use EIO or any
 * other mechanism.
 *
 * The base class is able to operate in push or pull mode. The chain
 * mode will queue the samples in the ringbuffer as much as possible.
 * The available space is calculated in the callback function.
 *
 * The pull mode will pull_range() a new buffer of N samples with a
 * configurable latency. This allows for high-end real time 
 * audio processing pipelines driven by the audiosink. The callback
 * function will be used to perform a pull_range() on the sinkpad.
 * The thread scheduling the callback can be a real-time thread.
 *
 * Subclasses must implement a GstRingBuffer in addition to overriding
 * the methods in GstBaseSink and this class.
