## Description

This is the base class for audio sources. Subclasses need to implement the ::create_ringbuffer vmethod. This base class will then take care of reading samples from the ringbuffer, synchronisation and flushing.

## Details

### struct GstBaseAudioSrc

    struct GstBaseAudioSrc;

Opaque GstBaseAudioSrc.

### struct GstBaseAudioSrcClass

    struct GstBaseAudioSrcClass {
      GstPushSrcClass parent_class;

      /* subclass ringbuffer allocation */
      GstRingBuffer* (*create_ringbuffer)  (GstBaseAudioSrc *src);
    };

GstBaseAudioSrc class. Override the vmethod to implement functionality.

GstPushSrcClass `parent_class`; | the parent class.
`create_ringbuffer` () | create and return a GstRingBuffer to read from.

### enum GstBaseAudioSrcSlaveMethod

    typedef enum
    {
      GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_SLAVE_RESAMPLE,
      GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_SLAVE_RETIMESTAMP,
      GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_SLAVE_SKEW,
      GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_SLAVE_NONE
    } GstBaseAudioSrcSlaveMethod;

Different possible clock slaving algorithms when the internal audio clock was not selected as the pipeline clock.

`GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_SLAVE_RESAMPLE` | Resample to match the master clock.
`GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_SLAVE_RETIMESTAMP` | Retimestamp output buffers with master clock time.
`GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_SLAVE_SKEW` | Adjust capture pointer when master clock drifts too much.
`GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_SLAVE_NONE` | No adjustment is done.

### GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_CLOCK()

    #define GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_CLOCK(obj)    (GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC (obj)->clock)

Get the GstClock of `obj`.

`obj` : | a GstBaseAudioSrc

### GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_PAD()

    #define GST_BASE_AUDIO_SRC_PAD(obj)      (GST_BASE_SRC (obj)->srcpad)

Get the source GstPad of `obj`.

`obj` : | a GstBaseAudioSrc

### gst_base_audio_src_create_ringbuffer ()

    GstRingBuffer *     gst_base_audio_src_create_ringbuffer
                                                            (GstBaseAudioSrc *src);

Create and return the GstRingBuffer for `src`. This function will call the ::create_ringbuffer vmethod and will set `src` as the parent of the returned buffer (see `gst_object_set_parent()`).

`src` : | a GstBaseAudioSrc.
Returns : | The new ringbuffer of `src`.

### gst_base_audio_src_set_provide_clock ()

    void                gst_base_audio_src_set_provide_clock
                                                            (GstBaseAudioSrc *src,
                                                             gboolean provide);

Controls whether `src` will provide a clock or not. If `provide` is `TRUE`, `gst_element_provide_clock()` will return a clock that reflects the datarate of `src`. If `provide` is `FALSE`, `gst_element_provide_clock()` will return NULL.

`src` : | a GstBaseAudioSrc
`provide` : | new state

Since 0.10.16

### gst_base_audio_src_get_provide_clock ()

    gboolean            gst_base_audio_src_get_provide_clock
                                                            (GstBaseAudioSrc *src);

Queries whether `src` will provide a clock or not. See also gst_base_audio_src_set_provide_clock.

`src` : | a GstBaseAudioSrc
Returns : | `TRUE` if `src` will provide a clock.

Since 0.10.16

### gst_base_audio_src_get_slave_method ()

    GstBaseAudioSrcSlaveMethod  gst_base_audio_src_get_slave_method
                                                            (GstBaseAudioSrc *src);

Get the current slave method used by `src`.

`src` : | a GstBaseAudioSrc
Returns : | The current slave method used by `src`.

Since 0.10.20

### gst_base_audio_src_set_slave_method ()

    void                gst_base_audio_src_set_slave_method (GstBaseAudioSrc *src,
                                                             GstBaseAudioSrcSlaveMethod method);

Controls how clock slaving will be performed in `src`.

`src` : | a GstBaseAudioSrc
`method` : | the new slave method

Since 0.10.20
