1 GStreamer data protocol
2 Intended to wrap GstData objects in a line protocol for use with
3 pipe / network elements.
4 IDEAS-- -- -*for transporting buffers, have a function that creates a header for a given buffer to be written before the buffer.This way, you don 't lose
5 time creating a GDP buffer from the buffer
6 * allow for CRC' ing of the GstBuffer, optionally * have a version number of the protocol * optimizing the header for size is not useful since the GstData structure
7 already contains more than 32 bytes anyway, making up half the header size PROTOCOL-- -- ----*1 byte GDP major
9 *1 byte GDP minor version (1)
11 * 1 byte GDP data type
12 1 for buffer, 2 caps, 65 + for events
13 * 4 byte length of "payload"
14 * 8 byte timestamp of buffer / event
15 * 8 byte duration of buffer
18 * 2 byte buffer data flags * 14 byte future extension (ABI padding)
19 *2 byte optional header crc
20 * 2 byte optional payload crc
23 PROTOCOL CHANGELOG-- --
24 --------------0.1:added two bytes for buffer flags all numbers use
25 network byte ordering.
