Base classes ------------ GstBaseSink Base class for sink elements. - one sinkpad - handles state changes - does flushing - preroll with optional preview - pull/push mode - EOS handling FIXME: not much point making it operate in pull mode as a generic base class I guess... GstBaseTransform Base class for simple tranform filters - one sinkpad and one srcpad - formats the same on sink and source pad. - handles state changes - does flushing - push mode - pull mode if transform can operate on arbitrary data
