+  <para>
+    The purpose of buffering is to accumulate enough data in a pipeline so that
+    playback can occur smoothly and without interruptions. It is typically done
+    when reading from a (slow) and non-live network source but can also be
+    used for live sources.

+    &GStreamer; can provide the application with progress reports about the
+    current buffering state as well as let the application decide on how
+    to buffer and when the buffering stops.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    In the most simple case, the application has to listen for BUFFERING
+    messages on the bus. If the percent indicator inside the BUFFERING message
+    is smaller than 100, the pipeline is buffering. When a message is
+    received with 100 percent, buffering is complete. In the buffering state,
+    the application should keep the pipeline in the PAUSED state. When buffering
+    completes, it can put the pipeline (back) in the PLAYING state.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    What follows is an example of how the message handler could deal with
+    the BUFFERING messages. We will see more advanced methods in

+        <para>
+          When during playback, the low watermark is hit, the queue will start

+     This buffering method is usable when the demuxer operates in push mode.
+     Seeking in the stream requires the seek to happen in the network source.
+     It is mostly desirable when the total duration of the file is not known,

+   <itemizedlist>
+      <listitem>
+        <para>
+          It is possible to measure the network bandwidth and configure the
+          low/high watermarks in such a way that buffering takes a fixed
+          amount of time.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+          The queue2 element in &GStreamer; core has the max-size-time property
+          that, together with the use-rate-estimate property, does exactly
+          that. Also the playbin buffer-duration property uses the rate estimate
+          to scale the amount of data that is buffered.
+        </para>
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+        <para>
+          Based on the codec bitrate, it is also possible to set the watermarks
+          in such a way that a fixed amount of data is buffered before playback
+          starts. Normally, the buffering element doesn't know about the
+          bitrate of the stream but it can get this with a query.

+      <listitem>
+        <para>
+          Start with a fixed amount of bytes, measure the time between
+          rebuffering and increase the queue size until the time between
+          rebuffering is within the application's chosen limits.
+        </para>
+      </listitem>
+   </itemizedlist>
+   <para>
+     The buffering element can be inserted anywhere in the pipeline. You could,
+     for example, insert the buffering element before a decoder. This would
+     make it possible to set the low/high watermarks based on time.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+     The buffering flag on playbin, performs buffering on the parsed data.
+     Another advantage of doing the buffering at a later stage is that you can
+     let the demuxer operate in pull mode. When reading data from a slow
+     network drive (with filesrc) this can be an interesting way to buffer.

-    To maintain sync in pipeline playback (which is the only case where this
-    really matters), &GStreamer; uses <emphasis>clocks</emphasis>. Clocks
-    are exposed by some elements, whereas other elements are merely clock
-    slaves. The primary task of a clock is to represent the time progress
-    according to the element exposing the clock, based on its own playback
-    rate. If no clock provider is available in a pipeline, the system clock
-    is used instead.
+    When playing complex media, each sound and video sample must be played in a
+    specific order at a specific time. For this purpose, GStreamer provides a
+    synchronization mechanism.

-    It is important to note, that a  <emphasis>clock-time</emphasis> is
-    monotonically rising, but the value itself is not meaningful.
-    Subtracting the <emphasis>base-time</emphasis> yields the
-    <emphasis>running-time</emphasis>. It is the same as the
-    <emphasis>stream-time</emphasis> if one plays from start to end at original

     <title>Clock providers</title>
-
+    <para>
+      A clock provider is an element in the pipeline that can provide
+      a <classname>GstClock</classname> object. The clock object needs to
+      report an absoulute-time that is monotonocally increasing when the
+      element is in the PLAYING state. It is allowed to pause the clock
+      while the element is PAUSED.
+    </para>
     <para>
       Clock providers exist because they play back media at some rate, and
       this rate is not necessarily the same as the system clock rate. For
       example, a soundcard may playback at 44,1 kHz, but that doesn't mean
       that after <emphasis>exactly</emphasis> 1 second <emphasis>according
       to the system clock</emphasis>, the soundcard has played back 44.100
-      samples. This is only true by approximation. Therefore, generally,
-      pipelines with an audio output use the audiosink as clock provider.
-      This ensures that one second of video will be played back at the same
-      rate as that the soundcard plays back 1 second of audio.
+      samples. This is only true by approximation. In fact, the audio
+      device has an internal clock based on the number of samples played
+      that we can expose.
     </para>
     <para>
-      Whenever some part of the pipeline requires to know the current clock
-      time, it will be requested from the clock through
-      <function>gst_clock_get_time ()</function>. The clock-time does not
-      need to start at 0. The pipeline, which contains the global clock that
-      all elements in the pipeline will use, in addition has a <quote>base
-      time</quote>, which is the clock time at the point where the
-      pipeline went to the PLAYING state. Each element can subtract the
-      <quote>base time</quote> from the clock-time to know the current
-      running time.
+      If an element with an internal clock needs to synchronize, it needs
+      to estimate when a time according to the pipeline clock will take
+      place according to the internal clock. To estimate this, it needs
+      to slave its clock to the pipeline clock.
     </para>
     <para>
-      The clock provider is responsible for making sure that the clock time
-      always represents the current media time as closely as possible; it
-      has to take care of things such as playback latencies, buffering in
-      audio-kernel modules, and so on, since all those could affect a/v sync
-      and thus decrease the user experience.
+      If the pipeline clock is exactly the internal clock of an element,
+      the element can skip the slaving step and directly use the pipeline
+      clock to schedule playback. This can be both faster and more
+      accurate.
+      Therefore, generally, elements with an internal clock like audio
+      input or output devices will be a clock provider for the pipeline.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      When the pipeline goes to the PLAYING state, it will go over all
+      elements in the pipeline from sink to source and ask each element
+      if they can provide a clock. The last element that can provide a
+      clock will be used as the clock provider in the pipeline.
+      This algorithm prefers a clock from an audio sink in a typical
+      playback pipeline and a clock from source elements in a typical
+      capture pipeline.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      There exist some bus messages to let you know about the clock and
+      clock providers in the pipeline. You can see what clock is selected
+      in the pipeline by looking at the NEW_CLOCK message on the bus.
+      When a clock provider is removed from the pipeline, a CLOCK_LOST
+      message is posted and the application should go to PAUSED and back

-      Clock slaves get assigned a clock by their containing pipeline. Their
-      task is to make sure that media playback follows the time progress as
-      represented by this clock as closely as possible. For most elements,
-      that will simply mean to wait until the buffer running-time is reached
-      before playing back their current sample.
+      The latency is the time it takes for a sample captured at timestamp X
+      to reach the sink. This time is measured against the clock in the
+      pipeline. For pipelines where the only elements that synchronize against
+      the clock are the sinks, the latency is always 0 since no other element
+      is delaying the buffer.
     </para>
     <para>
-      The buffer running-time is derived from the buffer timestamp and the
-      newsegment event preceeding the buffer. A buffer is played synchronized
-      with the clock when the clock's running-time has reached exactly the
-      buffer running-time; this can be done with the function
-      <function>gst_clock_id_wait ()</function>.
+      For pipelines with live sources, a latency is introduced, mostly because
+      of the way a live source works. Consider an audio source, it will start
+      capturing the first sample at time 0. If the source pushes buffers with
+      44100 samples at a time at 44100Hz it will have collected the buffer at
+      second 1.  Since the timestamp of the buffer is 0 and the time of the
+      clock is now >= 1 second, the sink will drop this buffer because it is
+      too late.  Without any latency compensation in the sink, all buffers will
+      be dropped.

-      Dynamically loaded plugins contain a structure that's defined using

-      when the plugin is loaded by the &GStreamer; core. The structure
-      contains an initialization function (usually called
-      <function>plugin_init</function>) that will be called right after that.
-      It's purpose is to register the elements provided by the plugin with
-      the &GStreamer; framework. 
-      If you want to embed elements directly in
-      your application, the only thing you need to do is to replace

-          <function>gst_plugin_register_static ()</function>. As soon as you
-      call <function>gst_plugin_register_static ()</function>, the elements
-      will from then on be available like any other element, without them
-      having to be dynamically loadable libraries. In the example below, you
-      would be able to call <function>gst_element_factory_make
-      ("my-element-name", "some-name")</function> to create an instance of the

-    Caps negotiation is the process where elements configure themselves
-    and each other for streaming a particular media format over their pads.
-    Since different types of elements have different requirements for the
-    media formats they can negotiate to, it is important that this process
-    is generic and implements all those use cases correctly.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-    In this chapter, we will discuss downstream negotiation and upstream
-    negotiation from a pipeline perspective, implicating the responsibilities
-    of different types of elements in a pipeline, and we will introduce the
-    concept of <emphasis>fixed caps</emphasis>.
+    Caps negotiation is the act of finding a media format (GstCaps) between
+    elements that they can handle. This process in &GStreamer; can in most
+    cases find an optimal solution for the complete pipeline. In this section
+    we explain how this works.

     <para>
-      Let's take the case of a file source, linked to a demuxer, linked to a
-      decoder, linked to a converter with a caps filter and finally an audio
-      output. When data flow originally starts, the demuxer will parse the
-      file header (e.g. the Ogg headers), and notice that there is, for
-      example, a Vorbis stream in this Ogg file. Noticing that, it will
-      create an output pad for the Vorbis elementary stream and set a
-      Vorbis-caps on it. Lastly, it adds the pad. As of this point, the pad
-      is ready to be used to stream data, and so the Ogg demuxer is now done.
-      This pad is <emphasis>not</emphasis> re-negotiable, since the type of
-      the data stream is embedded within the data.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      The Vorbis decoder will decode the Vorbis headers and the Vorbis data
-      coming in on its sinkpad. Now, some decoders may be able to output in
-      multiple output formats, for example both 16-bit integer output and
-      floating-point output, whereas other decoders may be able to only decode
-      into one specific format, e.g. only floating-point (32-bit) audio. Those
-      two cases have consequences for how caps negotiation should be
-      implemented in this decoder element. In the one case, it is possible to
-      use fixed caps, and you're done. In the other case, however, you should
-      implement the possibility for <emphasis>renegotiation</emphasis> in this
-      element, which is the possibility for the data format to be changed to
-      another format at some point in the future. We will discuss how to do
-      this in one of the sections further on in this chapter.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      The filter can be used by applications to force, for example, a specific
-      channel configuration (5.1/surround or 2.0/stereo), on the pipeline, so
-      that the user can enjoy sound coming from all its speakers. The audio
-      sink, in this example, is a standard ALSA output element (alsasink).
-      The converter element supports any-to-any, and the filter will make sure
-      that only a specifically wanted channel configuration streams through
-      this link (as provided by the user's channel configuration preference).
-      By changing this preference while the pipeline is running, some elements
-      will have to renegotiate <emphasis>while the pipeline is
-      running</emphasis>. This is done through upstream caps renegotiation.
-      That, too, will be discussed in detail in a section further below.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      In order for caps negotiation on non-fixed links to work correctly,
-      pads can optionally implement a query function that tells peer elements
-      what formats it supports and/or prefers. When upstream renegotiation is
-      triggered, this becomes important.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      Downstream elements are notified of a newly set caps with a
-      GST_EVENT_CAPS on the sinkpad. So when the vorbis decoder sets a caps on
-      its source pad (to configure the output format), the converter will
-      receive a caps event. 
-      When an element receives a buffer, it should check if it has received
-      all needed format information in a CAPS event previously. If it hasn't,
-      it should return an error from the chain function.

-    <title>Fixed caps</title>
-    <para>
-      The simplest way in which to do caps negotiation is setting a fixed
-      caps on a pad. After a fixed caps has been set, the pad can not be
-      renegotiated from the outside. The only way to reconfigure the pad
-      is for the element owning the pad to set a new fixed caps on the pad.

+          An upstream element decides on a format. It sends the selected media
+          format downstream on its source pad with a CAPS event. Downstream
+          elements reconfigure themselves to handle the media type in the CAPS

+          An upstream element can inform downstream that it would like to

+          RECONFIGURE event simply instructs an upstream element to restart
+          the negotiation phase. Because the element that sent out the
+          RECONFIGURE event is now suggesting another format, the format

       <para>
-        Many elements, particularly effects and converters, will be able
-        to parse the format of the stream from their input caps, and decide
-        the output format right at that time already. For those elements, all
-        (downstream) caps negotiation can be done from the 
-        <function>_event ()</function> function when a GST_EVENT_CAPS is
-        received on the sinkpad. This CAPS event is received whenever the
-        format changes or when no format was negotiated yet. It will always
-        be called before you receive the buffer in the format specified in
-        the CAPS event.
+        In this case, the source pad can only produce a fixed format. Usually
+        this format is encoded inside the media. No downstream element can
+        ask for a different format, the only way that the source pad will
+        renegotiate is when the element decides to change the caps itself.

       <para>
-        In the <function>_event ()</function>-function, the element can

-        caps and configure itself internally. The caps passed to this function
-        is <emphasis>always</emphasis> a subset of the template caps, so
-        there's no need for extensive safety checking. The following example

+  <para>
+    Quality of Service in &GStreamer; is about measuring and ajusting
+    the real-time performance of a pipeline. The real-time performance is
+    always measured relative to the pipeline clock and typically happens in

+    When buffers arrive late in the sink, i.e. when their running-time is

+    It is also possible for the application to artificially introduce delay

+    <title>Measuring QoS</title>
+    <para>
+      Elements that synchronize buffers on the pipeline clock will usually
+      measure the current QoS. They will also need to keep some statistics
+      in order to generate the QOS event.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      For each buffer that arrives in the sink, the element needs to calculate
+      how late or how early it was. This is called the jitter. Negative jitter
+      values mean that the buffer was early, positive values mean that the
+      buffer was late. the jitter value gives an indication of how early/late
+      a buffer was.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      A synchronizing element will also need to calculate how much time
+      elapsed between receiving two consecutive buffers. We call this the
+      processing time because that is the amount of time it takes for the
+      upstream element to produce/process the buffer. We can compare this
+      processing time to the duration of the buffer to have a measurement
+      of how fast upstream can produce data, called the proportion.
+      If, for example, upstream can produce a buffer in 0.5 seconds of 1
+      second long, it is operating at twice the required speed. If, on the
+      other hand, it takes 2 seconds to produce a buffer with 1 seconds worth
+      of data, upstream is producing buffers too slow and we won't be able to
+      keep sycnhronization. Usually, a running average is kept of the
+      proportion.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      A synchronizing element also needs to measure its own performance in
+      order to figure out if the performace problem is upstream of itself.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      These measurements are used to construct a QOS event that is sent
+      upstream. Note that a QoS event is sent for each buffer that arrives
+      in the sink.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads. It
+#   sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and linker
+#   flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special C compiler
+#   flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain compiler
+#   flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment variables.)
+#
+#   Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
+#   multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise). (This
+#   is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
+#
+#   NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these flags,
+#   but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link with
+#   $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS
+#
+#   If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use these
+#   variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
+#
+#     LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
+#     CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
+#     CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
+#
+#   In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute constant
+#   has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to that name
+#   (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
+#
+#   Also HAVE_PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT is defined if pthread is found and the
+#   PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT symbol is defined when compiling with
+#   PTHREAD_CFLAGS.
+#
+#   ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads library
+#   is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to run it if it
+#   is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the default action
+#   will define HAVE_PTHREAD.
+#
+#   Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or if
+#   you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based on work
+#   by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (http://www.fftw.org/) (with help
+#   from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread macros posted by
+#   Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro repository. We are also
+#   grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users.
