+ * SECTION:gstbuffer
+ * @short_description: Data-passing buffer type, supporting sub-buffers.
+ * @see_also: #GstPad, #GstMiniObject
+ *
+ * Buffers are the basic unit of data transfer in GStreamer. The #GstBuffer
+ * type provides all the state necessary to define a region of memory as part
+ * of a stream. Sub-buffers are also supported, allowing a smaller region of a
+ * buffer to become its own buffer, with mechanisms in place to ensure that
+ * neither memory space goes away prematurely.
+ *
+ * Buffers are usually created with gst_buffer_new(). After a buffer has been
+ * created one will typically allocate memory for it and set the size of the
+ * buffer data. The following example creates a buffer that can hold a given
+ * video frame with a given width, height and bits per plane.
+ * <example>
+ * <title>Creating a buffer for a video frame</title>
+ * <programlisting>
+ * GstBuffer *buffer;
+ * gint size, width, height, bpp;
+ * ...
+ * size = width * height * bpp;
+ * buffer = gst_buffer_new ();
+ * GST_BUFFER_SIZE (buffer) = size;
+ * GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA (buffer) = g_malloc (size);
+ * GST_BUFFER_DATA (buffer) = GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA (buffer);
+ * ...
+ * </programlisting>
+ * </example>
+ *
+ * Alternatively, use gst_buffer_new_and_alloc()
+ * to create a buffer with preallocated data of a given size.
+ *
+ * The data pointed to by the buffer can be retrieved with the GST_BUFFER_DATA()
+ * macro. The size of the data can be found with GST_BUFFER_SIZE(). For buffers
+ * of size 0, the data pointer is undefined (usually NULL) and should never be used.
+ *
+ * If an element knows what pad you will push the buffer out on, it should use
+ * gst_pad_alloc_buffer() instead to create a buffer. This allows downstream
+ * elements to provide special buffers to write in, like hardware buffers.
+ *
+ * A buffer has a pointer to a #GstCaps describing the media type of the data
+ * in the buffer. Attach caps to the buffer with gst_buffer_set_caps(); this
+ * is typically done before pushing out a buffer using gst_pad_push() so that
+ * the downstream element knows the type of the buffer.
+ *
+ * A buffer will usually have a timestamp, and a duration, but neither of these
+ * are guaranteed (they may be set to #GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE). Whenever a
+ * meaningful value can be given for these, they should be set. The timestamp
+ * and duration are measured in nanoseconds (they are #GstClockTime values).
+ *
+ * A buffer can also have one or both of a start and an end offset. These are
+ * media-type specific. For video buffers, the start offset will generally be
+ * the frame number. For audio buffers, it will be the number of samples
+ * produced so far. For compressed data, it could be the byte offset in a
+ * source or destination file. Likewise, the end offset will be the offset of
+ * the end of the buffer. These can only be meaningfully interpreted if you
+ * know the media type of the buffer (the #GstCaps set on it). Either or both
+ * can be set to #GST_BUFFER_OFFSET_NONE.
+ *
+ * gst_buffer_ref() is used to increase the refcount of a buffer. This must be
+ * done when you want to keep a handle to the buffer after pushing it to the
+ * next element.
+ *
+ * To efficiently create a smaller buffer out of an existing one, you can
+ * use gst_buffer_create_sub().
+ *
+ * If a plug-in wants to modify the buffer data in-place, it should first obtain
+ * a buffer that is safe to modify by using gst_buffer_make_writable(). This
+ * function is optimized so that a copy will only be made when it is necessary.
+ *
+ * A plugin that only wishes to modify the metadata of a buffer, such as the
+ * offset, timestamp or caps, should use gst_buffer_make_metadata_writable(),
+ * which will create a subbuffer of the original buffer to ensure the caller
+ * has sole ownership, and not copy the buffer data.
+ *
+ * Several flags of the buffer can be set and unset with the
+ * GST_BUFFER_FLAG_SET() and GST_BUFFER_FLAG_UNSET() macros. Use
+ * GST_BUFFER_FLAG_IS_SET() to test if a certain #GstBufferFlag is set.
+ *
+ * Buffers can be efficiently merged into a larger buffer with
+ * gst_buffer_merge() and gst_buffer_span() if the gst_buffer_is_span_fast()
+ * function returns TRUE.
+ *
+ * An element should either unref the buffer or push it out on a src pad
+ * using gst_pad_push() (see #GstPad).
+ *
+ * Buffers are usually freed by unreffing them with gst_buffer_unref(). When
+ * the refcount drops to 0, any data pointed to by GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA() will
+ * also be freed.
+ *
