Obviously, the above doesn't do much useful. Instead of printing that the
data is in, you would normally process the data there. Remember, however,
- that buffers are not always writeable. In more advanced elements (the ones
- that do event processing), you may want to additionally specify an event
- handling function, which will be called when stream-events are sent (such
- as end-of-stream, newsegment, tags, etc.).

Alternatively, pads can also operate in looping mode, which means that they
can pull data themselves. More on this topic later. After that, you have
to register the pad with the element. This happens like this:
