+x[v]imagesink should call gst_pad_set_bufferalloc_function() on
+their sink pads with a bufferalloc implementation.  This bufferalloc
+function is to allocate buffers that _peers_ will send _to_ that pad.
+
+A trivial version of a bufferalloc function, i.e., one that just
+allocates normal buffers:
+
+static GstBuffer *
+gst_ximagesink_sink_bufferalloc (GstPad *pad, guint64 offset, guint
+size)
+{
+  GstBuffer *buffer;
+
+  buffer = gst_buffer_new_and_alloc (size);
+  GST_DATA_FREE_FUNC (data) = gst_ximagesink_buffer_free;
+  GST_BUFFER_POOL_PRIVATE (data) = ximagesink; /* whatever */
+
+  return buffer;
+}
+
+static void
+gst_ximagesink_buffer_free (GstData *data)
+{
+  g_free (GST_BUFFER_DATA (data));
+}
+
+The hard part is going through each element, and every time it
+allocates a buffer using gst_buffer_new_and_alloc () that is then
+sent to a sink pad, the call should be replaced with
+gst_pad_alloc_buffer (sinkpad, offset, size).
