ASF Demuxer Plugin
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This plugin is a demuxer for Microsoft's ASF Advanced Streaming Format
|
|
or ASF [1]. This demuxer only supports ASF v1.0 since the vast
|
|
majority of existing ASF files use that version. The specification
|
|
has been derived from a third party source [2] without reference to
|
|
the original.
|
|
|
|
Design
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The ASF format can carry any combination of audio, video or
|
|
'ASF_Command_Media' streams. For simplicity it is assumed that each
|
|
file can carry up to 16 audio streams and 16 video streams. These are
|
|
implemented as dynamic pads and appear as appropriate once the file
|
|
headers have been parsed.

|
|
WMA2 WMA2 audio/x-wma, wmaversion = (int) 2
|
|

|
|
|
|
These video stream headers is very similar to that used in the AVI
|
|
format as are the audio stream headers. In addition the content types
|
|
are basically the same also so, for compatibility with existing
|
|
plugins the src pads are set up as video/x-msvideo. This enables
|
|
compatibility with the ffmpeg plugin.
|
|
|
|
The demuxing process begins with the loop function gst_asf_demux_loop
|
|
and parses the file in a recursive tree as follows:
|
|
|
|
gst_asf_demux_loop()
|
|
+-> gst_asf_demux_process_object() <----
|
|
+-> gst_asf_demux_process_stream() \
|
|
|-> gst_asf_demux_process_file() |
|
|
|-> gst_asf_demux_process_header() --+
|
|
|-> gst_asf_demux_process_data()
|
|
+-> gst_asf_demux_process_segment()
|
|
+-> gst_asf_demux_process_chunk()
|
