 * @short_description: Base class for audio sinks
 * @see_also: #GstAudioSink, #GstRingBuffer.
 *
 * This is the base class for audio sinks. Subclasses need to implement the
 * ::create_ringbuffer vmethod. This base class will then take care of
 * writing samples to the ringbuffer, synchronisation, clipping and flushing.
