/* base class for block based sources
 *
 * This class is mostly usefull for elements that cannot do
 * random access, or at least very slowly. The source usually
 * prefers to push out a fixed size buffer.
 *
 * Classes extending this base class will usually be scheduled
 * in a push based mode. It the peer accepts to operate without
 * offsets and withing the limits of the allowed block size, this
 * class can operate in getrange based mode automatically.
 *
 * The subclass should extend the methods from the baseclass in
 * addition to the create method.
 *
 * Seeking, flushing, scheduling and sync is all handled by this
 * base class.
