目标
GStreamer建立的pipeline不需要完全关闭。有多种方法可以让数据在任何时候送到pipeline中或者从pipeline中取出。本教程会展示：
如何把外部数据送到pipeline中
如何把数据从pipeline中取出
如何操作这些数据
介绍
有几种方法可以让应用通过pipeline和数据流交互。本教程讲述了最简单的一种，因为使用了专门为这个而创建的element。
专门让应用可以往pipeline里面传入数据的element时appsrc，而appsink就正好相反，让应用可以从pipeline中获得数据。为了避免混淆，我们可以这么来理解，appsrc是一个普通的source element，不过它的数据都是来自外太空，而appsink是一个普通的sink
element，数据从这里出去的就消失不见了。
appsrc和appsink用得非常多，所以他们都自己提供API，你只要连接了gstreamer-app库，那么就可以访问到。在本教程里，我们会使用一种简单地方法通过信号来实现。
appsrc可以有不同的工作模式：在pull模式，在需要时向应用请求数据；在push模式，应用根据自己的节奏把数据推送过来。而且，在push模式，如果已经有了足够的数据，应用可以在push时被阻塞，或者可以经由enough-data和need-data信号来控制。本教程中得例子就采用了这种信号控制的方式，其他没有提及的方法可以在appsrc的文档中查阅。
Buffers
通过pipeline传递的大块数据被称为buffers。因为本例子会制造数据同时也消耗数据，所以我们需要了解GstBuffer。
Source Pads负责制造buffer，这些buffer被sink pad消耗掉。GStreamer在一个个element之间传递这些buffer。
一个buffer只能简单地描述一小片数据，不要认为我们所有的buffer都是一样大小的。而且，buffer有一个时间戳和有效期，这个就描述了什么时候buffer里的数据需要渲染出来。时间戳是个非常复杂和精深的话题，但目前这个简单地解释也足够了。
作为一个例子，一个filesrc会提供“ANY”属性的buffers并且没有时间戳信息。在demux（《GStreamer基础教程03——动态pipeline》）之后，buffers会有一些特定的cap了，比如"video/x-h264"，在解码后，每一个buffer都会包含一帧有原始caps的视频帧（比如：video/x-raw-yuv），并且有非常明确地时间戳用来指示这一帧在什么时候显示。
教程
本教程是上一篇教程（《GStreamer基础教程07——多线程和Pad的有效性》）在两个方面的扩展：第一是用appsrc来取代audiotestsrc来生成音频数据；第二是在tee里新加了一个分支，这样流入audio
sink和波形显示的数据同样复制了一份传给appsink。这个appsink就把信息回传给应用，应用就可以通知用户收到了数据或者做其他更复杂的工作。

工作流程
创建pipeline段的代码就是上一篇的教程中得例子的扩大版。包括初始或所有的element，连接有Always Pad的element然后手动连接tee element的Request Pad。
下面我们关注一下appsrc和appsink这两个element的配置：
[objc] view
plain copy
/* Configure appsrc */
audio_caps_text = g_strdup_printf (AUDIO_CAPS, SAMPLE_RATE);
audio_caps = gst_caps_from_string (audio_caps_text);
g_object_set (data.app_source, "caps", audio_caps, NULL);
g_signal_connect (data.app_source, "need-data", G_CALLBACK (start_feed), &data);
g_signal_connect (data.app_source, "enough-data", G_CALLBACK (stop_feed), &data);
appsrc里面第一个需要关注的属性是caps。它说明了element准备生成的数据的类型，这样GStreamer就可以检查下游的element看看是否支持。这个属性必须是一个GstCaps对象，这个对象可以很方便的由gst_caps_from_string()来生成。
然后我们把need-data和enough-data信号和回调连接起来，这样在appsrc内部的队列里面数据不足或将要满地时候会发送信号，我们就用这些信号来启动/停止我们的信号发生过程。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* Configure appsink */
g_object_set (data.app_sink, "emit-signals", TRUE, "caps", audio_caps, NULL);
g_signal_connect (data.app_sink, "new-buffer", G_CALLBACK (new_buffer), &data);
gst_caps_unref (audio_caps);
g_free (audio_caps_text);
关于appsink的配置，我们连接了new-buffer的信号，这个信号在每次收到buffer的时候发出。当然，这个信号的发出需要emit-signals这个信号属性被开启（默认是关闭的）。
启动pipeline，等到消息和最后的清理资源都和以前的没什么区别。让我们关注我们刚刚注册的回调吧。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* This signal callback triggers when appsrc needs data. Here, we add an idle handler
* to the mainloop to start pushing data into the appsrc */
static void start_feed (GstElement *source, guint size, CustomData *data) {
if (data->sourceid == 0) {
g_print ("Start feeding\n");
data->sourceid = g_idle_add ((GSourceFunc) push_data, data);
}
}
这个函数在appsrc内部队列将要空的时候调用，在这里我们做的事情仅仅是用g_idle_add()方法注册一个GLib的idle函数，这个函数会给appsrc输入数据知道内部队列满为止。一个GLib的idle函数是一个GLib在主循环在“idle”时会调用的方法，也就是说，当时没有更高优先级的任务运行。
这只是appsrc多种发出数据方法中的一个。特别需要指出的是，buffer不是必须要在主线程中用GLib方法来传递给appsrc的，你也不是一定要用need-data和enough-data信号来同步appsrc的（据说这样最方便）。
我们记录下g_idle_add()的返回的sourceid，这样后面可以关掉它。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* This callback triggers when appsrc has enough data and we can stop sending.
* We remove the idle handler from the mainloop */
static void stop_feed (GstElement *source, CustomData *data) {
if (data->sourceid != 0) {
g_print ("Stop feeding\n");
g_source_remove (data->sourceid);
data->sourceid = 0;
}
}
这个函数当appsrc内部的队列满的时候调用，所以我们需要停止发送数据。这里我们简单地用g_source_remove()来把idle函数移走。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* This method is called by the idle GSource in the mainloop, to feed CHUNK_SIZE bytes into appsrc.
* The idle handler is added to the mainloop when appsrc requests us to start sending data (need-data signal)
* and is removed when appsrc has enough data (enough-data signal).
*/
static gboolean push_data (CustomData *data) {
GstBuffer *buffer;
GstFlowReturn ret;
int i;
gint16 *raw;
gint num_samples = CHUNK_SIZE / 2; /* Because each sample is 16 bits */
gfloat freq;
/* Create a new empty buffer */
buffer = gst_buffer_new_and_alloc (CHUNK_SIZE);
/* Set its timestamp and duration */
GST_BUFFER_TIMESTAMP (buffer) = gst_util_uint64_scale (data->num_samples, GST_SECOND, SAMPLE_RATE);
GST_BUFFER_DURATION (buffer) = gst_util_uint64_scale (CHUNK_SIZE, GST_SECOND, SAMPLE_RATE);
/* Generate some psychodelic waveforms */
raw = (gint16 *)GST_BUFFER_DATA (buffer);
这个函数给appsrc发送数据。它被GLib调用的次数和频率我们不加以控制，但我们会在它任务完成时关闭它（appsrc内部队列满）。
这里第一步是用gst_buffer_new_and_alloc()方法和给定的大小创建一个新buffer（例子中是1024字节）。
我们计算我们生成的采样数据的数据量，把数据存在CustomData.num_samples里面，这样我们可以用GstBuffer提供的GST_BUFFER_TIMESTAMP宏来生成buffer的时间戳。
gst_util_uint64_scale是一个工具函数，用来缩放数据，确保不会溢出。
这些给buffer的数据可以用GstBuffer提供的GST_BUFFER_DATA宏来访问。
我们会跳过波形的生成部分，因为这不是本教程要讲述的内容。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* Push the buffer into the appsrc */
g_signal_emit_by_name (data->app_source, "push-buffer", buffer, &ret);
/* Free the buffer now that we are done with it */
gst_buffer_unref (buffer);
一旦我们的buffer已经准备好，我们把带着这个buffer的push-buffer信号传给appsrc，然后就调用gst_buffer_unref()方法，因为我们不会再用到它了。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* The appsink has received a buffer */
static void new_buffer (GstElement *sink, CustomData *data) {
GstBuffer *buffer;
/* Retrieve the buffer */
g_signal_emit_by_name (sink, "pull-buffer", &buffer);
if (buffer) {
/* The only thing we do in this example is print a * to indicate a received buffer */
g_print ("*");
gst_buffer_unref (buffer);
}
}
最后，这个函数在appsink收到buffer时被调用。我们使用了pull-buffer的信号来重新获得buffer，因为是例子，所以仅仅在屏幕上打印一些内容。我们可以用GstBuffer的GST_BUFFER_DATA宏来获得数据指针和用GST_BUFFER_SIZE宏来获得数据大小。请记住，这里的buffer不是一定要和我们在push_data函数里面创建的buffer完全一致的，在传输路径上得任何一个element都可能对buffer进行一些改变。（这个例子中仅仅是在appsrc和appsink中间通过一个tee
element，所以buffer没有变化）。
请不要忘记调用gst_buffer_unref()来释放buffer，就讲这么多吧。

工作流程
创建pipeline段的代码就是上一篇的教程中得例子的扩大版。包括初始或所有的element，连接有Always Pad的element然后手动连接tee element的Request Pad。
下面我们关注一下appsrc和appsink这两个element的配置：
[objc] view
plain copy
/* Configure appsrc */
audio_caps_text = g_strdup_printf (AUDIO_CAPS, SAMPLE_RATE);
audio_caps = gst_caps_from_string (audio_caps_text);
g_object_set (data.app_source, "caps", audio_caps, NULL);
g_signal_connect (data.app_source, "need-data", G_CALLBACK (start_feed), &data);
g_signal_connect (data.app_source, "enough-data", G_CALLBACK (stop_feed), &data);
appsrc里面第一个需要关注的属性是caps。它说明了element准备生成的数据的类型，这样GStreamer就可以检查下游的element看看是否支持。这个属性必须是一个GstCaps对象，这个对象可以很方便的由gst_caps_from_string()来生成。
然后我们把need-data和enough-data信号和回调连接起来，这样在appsrc内部的队列里面数据不足或将要满地时候会发送信号，我们就用这些信号来启动/停止我们的信号发生过程。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* Configure appsink */
g_object_set (data.app_sink, "emit-signals", TRUE, "caps", audio_caps, NULL);
g_signal_connect (data.app_sink, "new-buffer", G_CALLBACK (new_buffer), &data);
gst_caps_unref (audio_caps);
g_free (audio_caps_text);
关于appsink的配置，我们连接了new-buffer的信号，这个信号在每次收到buffer的时候发出。当然，这个信号的发出需要emit-signals这个信号属性被开启（默认是关闭的）。
启动pipeline，等到消息和最后的清理资源都和以前的没什么区别。让我们关注我们刚刚注册的回调吧。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* This signal callback triggers when appsrc needs data. Here, we add an idle handler
* to the mainloop to start pushing data into the appsrc */
static void start_feed (GstElement *source, guint size, CustomData *data) {
if (data->sourceid == 0) {
g_print ("Start feeding\n");
data->sourceid = g_idle_add ((GSourceFunc) push_data, data);
}
}
这个函数在appsrc内部队列将要空的时候调用，在这里我们做的事情仅仅是用g_idle_add()方法注册一个GLib的idle函数，这个函数会给appsrc输入数据知道内部队列满为止。一个GLib的idle函数是一个GLib在主循环在“idle”时会调用的方法，也就是说，当时没有更高优先级的任务运行。
这只是appsrc多种发出数据方法中的一个。特别需要指出的是，buffer不是必须要在主线程中用GLib方法来传递给appsrc的，你也不是一定要用need-data和enough-data信号来同步appsrc的（据说这样最方便）。
我们记录下g_idle_add()的返回的sourceid，这样后面可以关掉它。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* This callback triggers when appsrc has enough data and we can stop sending.
* We remove the idle handler from the mainloop */
static void stop_feed (GstElement *source, CustomData *data) {
if (data->sourceid != 0) {
g_print ("Stop feeding\n");
g_source_remove (data->sourceid);
data->sourceid = 0;
}
}
这个函数当appsrc内部的队列满的时候调用，所以我们需要停止发送数据。这里我们简单地用g_source_remove()来把idle函数移走。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* This method is called by the idle GSource in the mainloop, to feed CHUNK_SIZE bytes into appsrc.
* The idle handler is added to the mainloop when appsrc requests us to start sending data (need-data signal)
* and is removed when appsrc has enough data (enough-data signal).
*/
static gboolean push_data (CustomData *data) {
GstBuffer *buffer;
GstFlowReturn ret;
int i;
gint16 *raw;
gint num_samples = CHUNK_SIZE / 2; /* Because each sample is 16 bits */
gfloat freq;
/* Create a new empty buffer */
buffer = gst_buffer_new_and_alloc (CHUNK_SIZE);
/* Set its timestamp and duration */
GST_BUFFER_TIMESTAMP (buffer) = gst_util_uint64_scale (data->num_samples, GST_SECOND, SAMPLE_RATE);
GST_BUFFER_DURATION (buffer) = gst_util_uint64_scale (CHUNK_SIZE, GST_SECOND, SAMPLE_RATE);
/* Generate some psychodelic waveforms */
raw = (gint16 *)GST_BUFFER_DATA (buffer);
这个函数给appsrc发送数据。它被GLib调用的次数和频率我们不加以控制，但我们会在它任务完成时关闭它（appsrc内部队列满）。
这里第一步是用gst_buffer_new_and_alloc()方法和给定的大小创建一个新buffer（例子中是1024字节）。
我们计算我们生成的采样数据的数据量，把数据存在CustomData.num_samples里面，这样我们可以用GstBuffer提供的GST_BUFFER_TIMESTAMP宏来生成buffer的时间戳。
gst_util_uint64_scale是一个工具函数，用来缩放数据，确保不会溢出。
这些给buffer的数据可以用GstBuffer提供的GST_BUFFER_DATA宏来访问。
我们会跳过波形的生成部分，因为这不是本教程要讲述的内容。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* Push the buffer into the appsrc */
g_signal_emit_by_name (data->app_source, "push-buffer", buffer, &ret);
/* Free the buffer now that we are done with it */
gst_buffer_unref (buffer);
一旦我们的buffer已经准备好，我们把带着这个buffer的push-buffer信号传给appsrc，然后就调用gst_buffer_unref()方法，因为我们不会再用到它了。
[objc] view
plain copy
/* The appsink has received a buffer */
static void new_buffer (GstElement *sink, CustomData *data) {
GstBuffer *buffer;
/* Retrieve the buffer */
g_signal_emit_by_name (sink, "pull-buffer", &buffer);
if (buffer) {
/* The only thing we do in this example is print a * to indicate a received buffer */
g_print ("*");
gst_buffer_unref (buffer);
}
}
最后，这个函数在appsink收到buffer时被调用。我们使用了pull-buffer的信号来重新获得buffer，因为是例子，所以仅仅在屏幕上打印一些内容。我们可以用GstBuffer的GST_BUFFER_DATA宏来获得数据指针和用GST_BUFFER_SIZE宏来获得数据大小。请记住，这里的buffer不是一定要和我们在push_data函数里面创建的buffer完全一致的，在传输路径上得任何一个element都可能对buffer进行一些改变。（这个例子中仅仅是在appsrc和appsink中间通过一个tee
element，所以buffer没有变化）。
请不要忘记调用gst_buffer_unref()来释放buffer，就讲这么多吧。
