Buffering
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
This document outlines the buffering policy used in the GStreamer
|
|
core that can be used by plugins and applications.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of buffering is to accumulate enough data in a pipeline so that
|
|
playback can occur smoothly and without interruptions. It is typically done when
|
|
reading from a (slow) and non-live network source.
|
|
|
|
While data is buffered, the pipeline should remain in the PAUSED state. It is
|
|
also possible that more data should be buffered while the pipeline is PLAYING,
|
|
in which case the pipeline should be PAUSED until the buffering finished.
