/**
* 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.
*
* 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_alloc (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.
*
* 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.
*
* 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 the plug-in wants to modify the buffer 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.
*
* 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 it
* 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 usually are freed by unreffing them with gst_buffer_unref(). When
* the refcount drops to 0, the buffer memory will be freed again.
*
