/**
 * SECTION:gstbufferpool
 * @short_description: Pool for buffers
 * @see_also: #GstBuffer
 *
 * A #GstBufferPool is an object that can be used to pre-allocate and recycle
 * buffers of the same size and with the same properties.
 *
 * A #GstBufferPool is created with gst_buffer_pool_new().
 *
 * Once a pool is created, it needs to be configured. A call to
 * gst_buffer_pool_get_config() returns the current configuration structure from
 * the pool. With gst_buffer_pool_config_set_params() and
 * gst_buffer_pool_config_set_allocator() the bufferpool parameters and
 * allocator can be configured. Other properties can be configured in the pool
 * depending on the pool implementation.
 *
 * A bufferpool can have extra options that can be enabled with
 * gst_buffer_pool_config_add_option(). The available options can be retrieved
 * with gst_buffer_pool_get_options(). Some options allow for additional
 * configuration properties to be set.
 *
 * After the configuration structure has been configured,
 * gst_buffer_pool_set_config() updates the configuration in the pool. This can
 * fail when the configuration structure is not accepted.
 *
 * After the a pool has been configured, it can be activated with
 * gst_buffer_pool_set_active(). This will preallocate the configured resources
 * in the pool.
 *
 * When the pool is active, gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer() can be used to
 * retrieve a buffer from the pool.
 *
 * Buffers allocated from a bufferpool will automatically be returned to the
 * pool with gst_buffer_pool_release_buffer() when their refcount drops to 0.
 *
 * The bufferpool can be deactivated again with gst_buffer_pool_set_active().
 * All further gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer() calls will return an error. When
 * all buffers are returned to the pool they will be freed.
 *
 * Use gst_object_unref() to release the reference to a bufferpool. If the
 * refcount of the pool reaches 0, the pool will be freed.
