* an example application of using appsrc in streaming push mode. We simply push
38
* buffers into appsrc. The size of the buffers we push can be any size we
41
* This example is very close to how one would deal with a streaming webserver
42
* that does not support range requests or does not report the total file size.
44
* Some optimisations are done so that we don't push too much data. We connect
45
* to the need-data and enough-data signals to start/stop sending buffers.
47
* Appsrc in streaming mode (the default) does not support seeking so we don't
48
* have to handle any seek callbacks.
50
* Some formats are able to estimate the duration of the media file based on the
51
* file length (mp3, mpeg,..), others report an unknown length (ogg,..).
