<em class="parameter"><code><a href="../html/GstPad.html#GstPad-struct"><span class="type">GstPad</span></a> *pad</code></em>);</pre>
<p>Sets up a pipeline for buffer sucking. This will allow you to call
<a class="link" href="gstreamer-libs-GstBufferStraw.html#gst-buffer-straw-get-buffer" title="gst_buffer_straw_get_buffer ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_straw_get_buffer()</code></a> to access buffers as they pass over <em class="parameter"><code>pad</code></em>
.</p>
<p>This function is normally used in unit tests that want to verify that a
particular element is outputting correct buffers. For example, you would make
a pipeline via <a href="../html/gstreamer-GstParse.html#gst-parse-launch"><code class="function">gst_parse_launch()</code></a>, pull out the pad you want to monitor, then
call <a class="link" href="gstreamer-libs-GstBufferStraw.html#gst-buffer-straw-get-buffer" title="gst_buffer_straw_get_buffer ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_straw_get_buffer()</code></a> to get the buffers that pass through <em class="parameter"><code>pad</code></em>
.
The pipeline will block until you have sucked off the buffers.</p>
<p>This function will set the state of <em class="parameter"><code>bin</code></em>
to PLAYING; to clean up, be sure to
call <a class="link" href="gstreamer-libs-GstBufferStraw.html#gst-buffer-straw-stop-pipeline" title="gst_buffer_straw_stop_pipeline ()"><code class="function">gst_buffer_straw_stop_pipeline()</code></a>.</p>
<p>Note that you may not start two buffer straws at the same time. This function
is intended for unit tests, not general API use. In fact it calls fail_if
from libcheck, so you cannot use it outside unit tests.</p>

<p>Get one buffer from <em class="parameter"><code>pad</code></em>
. Implemented via buffer probes. This function will
block until the pipeline passes a buffer over <em class="parameter"><code>pad</code></em>
, so for robust behavior
in unit tests, you need to use check's timeout to fail out in the case that a
buffer never arrives.</p>
