/**********************************************************************
 * GStreamer Default File Source
 * Theory of Operation
 *
 * This source uses mmap(2) to efficiently load data from a file.
 * To do this without seriously polluting the applications' memory
 * space, it must do so in smaller chunks, say 1-4MB at a time.
 * Buffers are then subdivided from these mmap'd chunks, to directly
 * make use of the mmap.
 *
 * To handle refcounting so that the mmap can be freed at the appropriate
 * time, a buffer will be created for each mmap'd region, and all new
 * buffers will be sub-buffers of this top-level buffer.  As they are 
 * freed, the refcount goes down on the mmap'd buffer and its free()
 * function is called, which will call munmap(2) on itself.
 *
 * If a buffer happens to cross the boundaries of an mmap'd region, we
 * have to decide whether it's more efficient to copy the data into a
 * new buffer, or mmap() just that buffer.  There will have to be a
 * breakpoint size to determine which will be done.  The mmap() size
 * has a lot to do with this as well, because you end up in double-
 * jeopardy: the larger the outgoing buffer, the more data to copy when
 * it overlaps, *and* the more frequently you'll have buffers that *do*
 * overlap.
 *
 * Seeking is another tricky aspect to do efficiently.  The initial
 * implementation of this source won't make use of these features, however.
 * The issue is that if an application seeks backwards in a file, *and*
 * that region of the file is covered by an mmap that hasn't been fully
 * deallocated, we really should re-use it.  But keeping track of these
 * regions is tricky because we have to lock the structure that holds
 * them.  We need to settle on a locking primitive (GMutex seems to be
 * a really good option...), then we can do that.
