/**
 * SECTION:gstadapter
 * @short_description: object to splice and merge buffers to desired size
 * @see_also: #GstBytestream, #GstFilePad
 *
 * This class is for elements that receive buffers in an undesired size. 
 * While for example raw video contains one image per buffer, the same is not 
 * true for a lot of other formats, especially those that come directly from 
 * a file. So if you have undefined buffer sizes and require a specific size, 
 * this object is for you.
 *
 * The theory of operation is like this: All buffers received are put
 * into the adapter using gst_adapter_push() and the data is then read back 
 * in chunks of the desired size using gst_adapter_peek(). After the data is
 * processed, it is freed using gst_adapter_flush(). An example function that
 * needs to process data in 10 byte chunks could look like this:
 * <programlisting>
 * void
 * process_buffer (GstAdapter *adapter, GstBuffer *buffer)
 * {
 *   guint8 *data;
 *   // put buffer into adapter
 *   #gst_adapter_push (adapter, buffer);
 *   // while we can read out 10 bytes, process them
 *   while ((data = #gst_adapter_peek (adapter, 10))) {
 *     // process the 10 bytes here
 *     // after processing the data, flush it
 *     #gst_adapter_flush (adapter, 10);
 *   }
 * }
 * </programlisting>
 * For another example, a simple element inside GStreamer that uses GstAdapter
 * is the libvisual element.
 *
 * A last thing to note is that while GstAdapter is pretty optimized, 
 * merging buffers still might be an operation that requires a memcpy() 
 * operation, and this operation is not the fastest. Because of this, some 
 * functions like gst_adapter_available_fast() are provided to help speed up 
 * such cases should you want to.
