 * replace @buffer in the list or remove @buffer from the list, depending on
 * the return value. If the function returns NULL, @buffer will be removed from
 * the list, otherwise @buffer will be replaced with the returned buffer.
 *
 * The last buffer returned by gst_buffer_list_iterator_next() will be replaced
 * with the buffer returned from the function. The function takes ownership of
 * @buffer and if a different value than @buffer is returned, @buffer must be
 * unreffed. If NULL is returned, the buffer will be removed from the list. The
 * list must be writable.
