[gst-devel] buffersink and buffersrc

[<ka...@sa...>]

I've made a pair of plugins, buffersink and buffersrc.  They can be
used for things like playing a stream at two different seek locations
simultaneously.

It's available at http://users.utu.fi/kaolpa/gst/

Would you be interested in having this included with the gstreamer
package?

I mailed the mailing list, asking for help, a while ago.  That mail
hasn't yet made it to the mailing list at this moment.  This
announcement may arrive before that one.  Anyway, feel free to ignore
that request for help.

From the README:
Buffersink is a sink that stores a stream to a GstBuffer.  Buffersrc
is a source that uses as the source a GstBuffer.  These are meant to
be used together.  Typically you'd use them with something like:

  GstBuffer *buf;
  GstCaps *caps;
  GstElement *bufsink, *bufsrc;

...	// Run a pipeline that uses bufsink as a sink

  g_object_get (bufsink, "buffer", &buf, NULL);
  g_object_set (bufsrc, "buffer", buf, NULL);
  g_object_get (bufsink, "caps", &caps, NULL);
  g_object_set (bufsrc, "caps", caps, NULL);

  gst_element_link (bufsrc, sink);
