/**
 * SECTION:gstbasetransform
 * @short_description: Base class for simple tranform filters
 * @see_also: #GstBaseSrc, #GstBaseSink
 *
 * This base class is for filter elements that process data.
 *
 * It provides for:
 * <itemizedlist>
 *   <listitem><para>one sinkpad and one srcpad</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *      Possible formats on sink and source pad implemented
 *      with custom transform_caps function. By default uses
 *      same format on sink and source.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Handles state changes</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Does flushing</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Push mode</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *       Pull mode if the sub-class transform can operate on arbitrary data
 *    </para></listitem>
 * </itemizedlist>
 *
 * Use Cases:
 * <orderedlist>
 * <listitem>
 *   <itemizedlist><title>Passthrough mode</title>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     Element has no interest in modifying the buffer. It may want to inspect it,
 *     in which case the element should have a transform_ip function. If there
 *     is no transform_ip function in passthrough mode, the buffer is pushed
 *     intact.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     On the GstBaseTransformClass is the passthrough_on_same_caps variable
 *     which will automatically set/unset passthrough based on whether the
 *     element negotiates the same caps on both pads.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     passthrough_on_same_caps on an element that doesn't implement a transform_caps
 *     function is useful for elements that only inspect data (such as level)
 *   </para></listitem>

 * </listitem>
 * <listitem>
 *   <itemizedlist><title>Modifications in-place - input buffer and output buffer are the same thing.</title>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     The element must implement a transform_ip function.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     Output buffer size must <= input buffer size
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     If the always_in_place flag is set, non-writable buffers will be copied and
 *     passed to the transform_ip function, otherwise a new buffer will be created
 *     and the transform function called.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     Incoming writable buffers will be passed to the transform_ip function immediately.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     only implementing transform_ip and not transform implies always_in_place =

 * <listitem>
 *   <itemizedlist><title>Modifications only to the caps/metadata of a buffer</title>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     The element does not require writable data, but non-writable buffers should
 *     be subbuffered so that the meta-information can be replaced.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     Elements wishing to operate in this mode should replace the
 *     prepare_output_buffer method to create subbuffers of the input buffer and
