37 * an example application of using appsrc in random-access mode. When the
38 * appsrc requests data with the need-data signal, we retrieve a buffer of the
39 * requested size and push it to appsrc.
41 * This is a good example how one would deal with a local file resource.
43 * Appsrc in random-access mode needs seeking support and we must thus connect
44 * to the seek signal to perform any seeks when requested.
46 * In random-access mode we must set the size of the source material.
