Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
Notify appsrc that no more buffer are available.
Signal that the source has enough data. It is recommended that the application stops calling push-buffer until the need-data signal is emitted again to avoid excessive buffer queueing.
Signal that the source needs more data. In the callback or from another thread you should call push-buffer or end-of-stream.
Adds a buffer to the queue of buffers that the appsrc element will push to its source pad. This function does not take ownership of the buffer so the buffer needs to be unreffed after calling this function.
Adds a buffer list to the queue of buffers and buffer lists that the appsrc element will push to its source pad. This function does not take ownership of the buffer list so the buffer list needs to be unreffed after calling this function.
Extract a buffer from the provided sample and adds the extracted buffer to the queue of buffers that the appsrc element will push to its source pad. This function set the appsrc caps based on the caps in the sample and reset the caps if they change. Only the caps and the buffer of the provided sample are used and not for example the segment in the sample. This function does not take ownership of the sample so the sample needs to be unreffed after calling this function.
Seek to the given offset. The next push-buffer should produce buffers from the new offset. This callback is only called for seekable stream types.
Set the capabilities on the appsrc element. This function takes a copy of the caps structure. After calling this method, the source will only produce caps that match caps. caps must be fixed and the caps on the buffers must match the caps or left NULL.
Indicates to the appsrc element that the last buffer queued in the element is the last buffer of the stream.

Adds a buffer to the queue of buffers that the appsrc element will push to its source pad. This function takes ownership of the buffer.
Adds a buffer list to the queue of buffers and buffer lists that the appsrc element will push to its source pad. This function takes ownership of buffer_list.
Extract a buffer from the provided sample and adds it to the queue of buffers that the appsrc element will push to its source pad. Any previous caps that were set on appsrc will be replaced by the caps associated with the sample if not equal.
Set callbacks which will be executed when data is needed, enough data has been collected or when a seek should be performed. This is an alternative to using the signals, it has lower overhead and is thus less expensive, but also less flexible.
Set the duration of the stream in nanoseconds. A value of GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE means that the duration is not known.
Make appsrc emit the "new-preroll" and "new-buffer" signals. This option is by default disabled because signal emission is expensive and unneeded when the application prefers to operate in pull mode.
Configure the min and max latency in src. If min is set to -1, the default latency calculations for pseudo-live sources will be used.
Set the maximum amount of bytes that can be queued in appsrc. After the maximum amount of bytes are queued, appsrc will emit the "enough-data" signal.
Set the size of the stream in bytes. A value of -1 means that the size is not known.
Set the stream type on appsrc. For seekable streams, the "seek" signal must be connected to.

Lets gst.BaseSrc.BaseSrc sub-classes to know the memory allocator used by the base class and its params.
Get the number of bytes that src will push out with each buffer.
Query if src timestamps outgoing buffers based on the current running_time.
Get the current async behaviour of src. See also BaseSrc.setAsync.
Check if an element is in live mode.
Prepare a new seamless segment for emission downstream. This function must only be called by derived sub-classes, and only from the create() function, as the stream-lock needs to be held.
Query the source for the latency parameters. live will be TRUE when src is configured as a live source. min_latency and max_latency will be set to the difference between the running time and the timestamp of the first buffer.
Configure async behaviour in src, no state change will block. The open, close, start, stop, play and pause virtual methods will be executed in a different thread and are thus allowed to perform blocking operations. Any blocking operation should be unblocked with the unlock vmethod.
If automatic_eos is TRUE, src will automatically go EOS if a buffer after the total size is returned. By default this is TRUE but sources that can't return an authoritative size and only know that they're EOS when trying to read more should set this to FALSE.
Set the number of bytes that src will push out with each buffer. When blocksize is set to -1, a default length will be used.
Set new caps on the basesrc source pad.
Configure src to automatically timestamp outgoing buffers based on the current running_time of the pipeline. This property is mostly useful for live sources.
If not dynamic, size is only updated when needed, such as when trying to read past current tracked size. Otherwise, size is checked for upon each read.
Sets the default format of the source. This will be the format used for sending SEGMENT events and for performing seeks.
If the element listens to a live source, live should be set to TRUE.
Complete an asynchronous start operation. When the subclass overrides the start method, it should call BaseSrc.startComplete when the start operation completes either from the same thread or from an asynchronous helper thread.
Wait until the start operation completes.
Subclasses can call this from their create virtual method implementation to submit a buffer list to be pushed out later. This is useful in cases where the create function wants to produce multiple buffers to be pushed out in one go in form of a gstreamer.BufferList, which can reduce overhead drastically, especially for packetised inputs (for data streams where the packetisation/chunking is not important it is usually more efficient to return larger buffers instead).
If the GstBaseSrcClas.create|GstBaseSrcClas.creates method performs its own synchronisation against the clock it must unblock when going from PLAYING to the PAUSED state and call this method before continuing to produce the remaining data.

Gets the list of protocols supported by handler. This list may not be modified.
Gets the currently handled URI.
Gets the type of the given URI handler
Tries to set the URI of the given handler.
The appsrc element can be used by applications to insert data into a GStreamer pipeline. Unlike most GStreamer elements, appsrc provides external API functions.
appsrc can be used by linking with the libgstapp library to access the methods directly or by using the appsrc action signals.
Before operating appsrc, the caps property must be set to fixed caps describing the format of the data that will be pushed with appsrc. An exception to this is when pushing buffers with unknown caps, in which case no caps should be set. This is typically true of file-like sources that push raw byte buffers. If you don't want to explicitly set the caps, you can use gst_app_src_push_sample. This method gets the caps associated with the sample and sets them on the appsrc replacing any previously set caps (if different from sample's caps).
The main way of handing data to the appsrc element is by calling the AppSrc.pushBuffer method or by emitting the push-buffer action signal. This will put the buffer onto a queue from which appsrc will read from in its streaming thread. It is important to note that data transport will not happen from the thread that performed the push-buffer call.
The "max-bytes" property controls how much data can be queued in appsrc before appsrc considers the queue full. A filled internal queue will always signal the "enough-data" signal, which signals the application that it should stop pushing data into appsrc. The "block" property will cause appsrc to block the push-buffer method until free data becomes available again.
When the internal queue is running out of data, the "need-data" signal is emitted, which signals the application that it should start pushing more data into appsrc.
In addition to the "need-data" and "enough-data" signals, appsrc can emit the "seek-data" signal when the "stream-mode" property is set to "seekable" or "random-access". The signal argument will contain the new desired position in the stream expressed in the unit set with the "format" property. After receiving the seek-data signal, the application should push-buffers from the new position.
These signals allow the application to operate the appsrc in two different ways:
The push mode, in which the application repeatedly calls the push-buffer/push-sample method with a new buffer/sample. Optionally, the queue size in the appsrc can be controlled with the enough-data and need-data signals by respectively stopping/starting the push-buffer/push-sample calls. This is a typical mode of operation for the stream-type "stream" and "seekable". Use this mode when implementing various network protocols or hardware devices.
The pull mode, in which the need-data signal triggers the next push-buffer call. This mode is typically used in the "random-access" stream-type. Use this mode for file access or other randomly accessable sources. In this mode, a buffer of exactly the amount of bytes given by the need-data signal should be pushed into appsrc.
In all modes, the size property on appsrc should contain the total stream size in bytes. Setting this property is mandatory in the random-access mode. For the stream and seekable modes, setting this property is optional but recommended.
When the application has finished pushing data into appsrc, it should call AppSrc.endOfStream or emit the end-of-stream action signal. After this call, no more buffers can be pushed into appsrc until a flushing seek occurs or the state of the appsrc has gone through READY.
