37 * an example application of using appsrc in seekable mode. When the
38 * appsrc requests data with the need-data signal, we retrieve a buffer and
39 * push it to appsrc. We can also use the method as demonstrated in
40 * appsrc-stream.c, ie. pushing buffers when we can.
42 * This is a good example how one would deal with a remote http server that
43 * supports range requests.
45 * Appsrc in seekable mode needs seeking support and we must thus connect
46 * to the seek signal to perform any seeks when requested.
48 * In seekable mode we should set the size of the source material.
