120 * @get_options: get a list of options supported by this pool
121 * @set_config: apply the bufferpool configuration. The default configuration
122 * will parse the default config parameters
123 * @start: start the bufferpool. The default implementation will preallocate
124 * min-buffers buffers and put them in the queue
125 * @stop: stop the bufferpool. the default implementation will free the
126 * preallocated buffers. This function is called when all the buffers are
127 * returned to the pool.
128 * @acquire_buffer: get a new buffer from the pool. The default implementation
129 * will take a buffer from the queue and optionally wait for a buffer to
130 * be released when there are no buffers available.
131 * @alloc_buffer: allocate a buffer. the default implementation allocates
132 * buffers from the configured memory allocator and with the configured
133 * parameters. All metadata that is present on the allocated buffer will
134 * be marked as #GST_META_FLAG_POOLED and #GST_META_FLAG_LOCKED and will
135 * not be removed from the buffer in @reset_buffer.
136 * @reset_buffer: reset the buffer to its state when it was freshly allocated.
137 * The default implementation will clear the flags, timestamps and
138 * will remove the metadata without the #GST_META_FLAG_POOLED flag (even
139 * the metadata with #GST_META_FLAG_LOCKED).
140 * @release_buffer: release a buffer back in the pool. The default
141 * implementation will put the buffer back in the queue and notify any
142 * blocking acquire_buffer calls.
143 * @free_buffer: free a buffer. The default implementation unrefs the buffer.
145 * The GstBufferPool class.
