/**
 * SECTION:gstaudiosink
 * @title: GstAudioSink
 * @short_description: Simple base class for audio sinks
 * @see_also: #GstAudioBaseSink, #GstAudioRingBuffer, #GstAudioSink.
 *
 * This is the most simple base class for audio sinks that only requires
 * subclasses to implement a set of simple functions:
 *
 * * `open()` :Open the device.
 *
 * * `prepare()` :Configure the device with the specified format.
 *
 * * `write()` :Write samples to the device.
 *
 * * `reset()` :Unblock writes and flush the device.
 *
 * * `delay()` :Get the number of samples written but not yet played
 * by the device.
 *
 * * `unprepare()` :Undo operations done by prepare.
 *
 * * `close()` :Close the device.
 *
 * All scheduling of samples and timestamps is done in this base class
 * together with #GstAudioBaseSink using a default implementation of a
 * #GstAudioRingBuffer that uses threads.
