<p>Manages a set of pads with the purpose of aggregating their buffers.
Control is given to the subclass when all pads have data.</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>
   Base class for mixers and muxers. Implementers should at least implement
   the <code class="function">aggregate()</code> vmethod.
 </p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
   When data is queued on all pads, tha aggregate vmethod is called.
 </p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
   One can peek at the data on any given GstAggregatorPad with the
   <a class="link" href="GstAggregatorPad.html#gst-aggregator-pad-get-buffer" title="gst_aggregator_pad_get_buffer ()"><code class="function">gst_aggregator_pad_get_buffer()</code></a> method, and take ownership of it
   with the <a class="link" href="GstAggregatorPad.html#gst-aggregator-pad-steal-buffer" title="gst_aggregator_pad_steal_buffer ()"><code class="function">gst_aggregator_pad_steal_buffer()</code></a> method. When a buffer
   has been taken with <code class="function">steal_buffer()</code>, a new buffer can be queued
   on that pad.
 </p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
   If the subclass wishes to push a buffer downstream in its aggregate
   implementation, it should do so through the
   <a class="link" href="GstAggregator.html#gst-aggregator-finish-buffer" title="gst_aggregator_finish_buffer ()"><code class="function">gst_aggregator_finish_buffer()</code></a> method. This method will take care
   of sending and ordering mandatory events such as stream start, caps
   and segment.
 </p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
   Same goes for EOS events, which should not be pushed directly by the
   subclass, it should instead return GST_FLOW_EOS in its aggregate
   implementation.

concurrent flushes, seeks, pad additions and removals, leaving to the
subclass the responsibility of clipping buffers, and aggregating buffers in
the way the implementor sees fit.</p>
<p>It will also take care of event ordering (stream-start, segment, eos).</p>
<p>Basically, a basic implementation will override <em class="parameter"><code>aggregate</code></em>
, and call
_finish_buffer from inside that function.</p>
