/**
* SECTION:gstbuffer
* @short_description: Data-passing buffer type, supporting sub-buffers.
* @see_also: #GstPad, #GstMiniObject
*
* Buffers are the basic unit of data transfer in GStreamer. The #GstBuffer
* type provides all the state necessary to define a region of memory as part
* of a stream. Sub-buffers are also supported, allowing a smaller region of a
* buffer to become its own buffer, with mechanisms in place to ensure that
* neither memory space goes away prematurely.
*
* Buffers are usually created with gst_buffer_new(). After a buffer has been
* created one will typically allocate memory for it and set the size of the
* buffer data. The following example creates a buffer that can hold a given
* video frame with a given width, height and bits per plane.
* <example>
* <title>Creating a buffer for a video frame</title>
* <programlisting>
* GstBuffer *buffer;
* gint size, width, height, bpp;
* ...
* size = width * height * bpp;
* buffer = gst_buffer_new ();
* GST_BUFFER_SIZE (buffer) = size;
* GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA (buffer) = g_malloc (size);
* GST_BUFFER_DATA (buffer) = GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA (buffer);
* ...
* </programlisting>
* </example>
*
* Alternatively, use gst_buffer_new_and_alloc()
* to create a buffer with preallocated data of a given size.
*
* The data pointed to by the buffer can be retrieved with the GST_BUFFER_DATA()
* macro. The size of the data can be found with GST_BUFFER_SIZE(). For buffers
* of size 0, the data pointer is undefined (usually NULL) and should never be used.
*
* If an element knows what pad you will push the buffer out on, it should use
* gst_pad_alloc_buffer() instead to create a buffer. This allows downstream
* elements to provide special buffers to write in, like hardware buffers.
*
* A buffer has a pointer to a #GstCaps describing the media type of the data
* in the buffer. Attach caps to the buffer with gst_buffer_set_caps(); this
* is typically done before pushing out a buffer using gst_pad_push() so that
* the downstream element knows the type of the buffer.
*
* A buffer will usually have a timestamp, and a duration, but neither of these
* are guaranteed (they may be set to #GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE). Whenever a
* meaningful value can be given for these, they should be set. The timestamp
* and duration are measured in nanoseconds (they are #GstClockTime values).
*
* A buffer can also have one or both of a start and an end offset. These are
* media-type specific. For video buffers, the start offset will generally be
* the frame number. For audio buffers, it will be the number of samples
* produced so far. For compressed data, it could be the byte offset in a
* source or destination file. Likewise, the end offset will be the offset of
* the end of the buffer. These can only be meaningfully interpreted if you
* know the media type of the buffer (the #GstCaps set on it). Either or both
* can be set to #GST_BUFFER_OFFSET_NONE.
*
* gst_buffer_ref() is used to increase the refcount of a buffer. This must be
* done when you want to keep a handle to the buffer after pushing it to the
* next element.
*
* To efficiently create a smaller buffer out of an existing one, you can
* use gst_buffer_create_sub().
*
* If a plug-in wants to modify the buffer data in-place, it should first obtain
* a buffer that is safe to modify by using gst_buffer_make_writable(). This
* function is optimized so that a copy will only be made when it is necessary.
*
* A plugin that only wishes to modify the metadata of a buffer, such as the
* offset, timestamp or caps, should use gst_buffer_make_metadata_writable(),
* which will create a subbuffer of the original buffer to ensure the caller
* has sole ownership, and not copy the buffer data.
*
* Several flags of the buffer can be set and unset with the
* GST_BUFFER_FLAG_SET() and GST_BUFFER_FLAG_UNSET() macros. Use
* GST_BUFFER_FLAG_IS_SET() to test if a certain #GstBufferFlag is set.
*
* Buffers can be efficiently merged into a larger buffer with
* gst_buffer_merge() and gst_buffer_span() if the gst_buffer_is_span_fast()
* function returns TRUE.
*
* An element should either unref the buffer or push it out on a src pad
* using gst_pad_push() (see #GstPad).
*
* Buffers are usually freed by unreffing them with gst_buffer_unref(). When
* the refcount drops to 0, any data pointed to by GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA() will
* also be freed.
