/*
 * an example application of using appsrc in streaming pull mode. When the
 * appsrc request data with the need-data signal, we retrieve a buffer of an
 * arbitrary size and push it to appsrc.
 *
 * This example keeps the internal buffer queue of appsrc to a minimal size,
 * only feeding data to appsrc when needed.
 *
 * This is a good example how one would deal with a live resource, such as a udp
 * socket where one would feed the most recently acquired buffer to appsrc.
 *
 * Usually one would timestamp the buffers with the running_time of the
 * pipeline or configure the appsrc to do timestamping by setting the
 * do-timestamp property to TRUE.
 *
 * Appsrc in streaming mode (the default) does not support seeking so we don't
 * have to handle any seek callbacks.
 *
 * Some formats are able to estimate the duration of the media file based on the
 * file length (mp3, mpeg,..), others report an unknown length (ogg,..).
