<a name="gst-plugins-bad-libs-GstAggregator.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<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. Subclasses should at least implement
the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-libs-GstAggregator.html#GstAggregatorClass.aggregate"><code class="function">GstAggregatorClass.aggregate()</code></a> virtual method.
</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="gst-plugins-bad-libs-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="gst-plugins-bad-libs-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="gst-plugins-bad-libs-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.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
Note that the aggregator logic regarding gap event handling is to turn
these into gap buffers with matching PTS and duration. It will also
flag these buffers with GST_BUFFER_FLAG_GAP and GST_BUFFER_FLAG_DROPPABLE
to ease their identification and subsequent processing.

<p>The aggregator base class will handle in a thread-safe way all manners of
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>

_finish_buffer from inside that function.</p>
