<a name="id-1.2.13.9.5.2"></a><h3>Deriving from GstTagDemux</h3>
<p>
Provides a base class for demuxing tags at the beginning or end of a
stream and handles things like typefinding, querying, seeking, and
different modes of operation (chain-based, pull_range-based, and providing
downstream elements with random access if upstream supports that). The tag
is stripped from the output, and all offsets are adjusted for the tag
sizes, so that to the downstream element the stream will appear as if
there was no tag at all. Also, once the tag has been parsed, GstTagDemux
will try to determine the media type of the resulting stream and add a
source pad with the appropriate caps in order to facilitate auto-plugging.
</p>
<p>
Subclasses have to do four things:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>
In their base init function, they must add a pad template for the sink
pad to the element class, describing the media type they can parse in
the caps of the pad template.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
In their class init function, they must override
GST_TAG_DEMUX_CLASS(demux_klass)-&gt;identify_tag with their own identify
function.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
In their class init function, they must override
GST_TAG_DEMUX_CLASS(demux_klass)-&gt;parse_tag with their own parse
function.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
In their class init function, they must also set
GST_TAG_DEMUX_CLASS(demux_klass)-&gt;min_start_size and/or
GST_TAG_DEMUX_CLASS(demux_klass)-&gt;min_end_size to the minimum size required
for the identify function to decide whether the stream has a supported tag
or not. A class parsing ID3v1 tags, for example, would set min_end_size to
128 bytes.
