Buffers are structures used to pass data between elements. All streams of
|
|
data are chopped up into chunks which are stored in buffers. Buffers can be
|
|
of any size, and also contain metadata indicating the type of data contained
|
|
in them. Buffers can be allocated by various different schemes, and may
|
|
either be passed on by elements or unreferenced (and the memory used by the
|
|
buffer freed).
