Base.typeFindHelperForData

Tries to find what type of data is contained in the given @data, the assumption being that the data represents the beginning of the stream or file.

All available typefinders will be called on the data in order of rank. If a typefinding function returns a probability of %GST_TYPE_FIND_MAXIMUM, typefinding is stopped immediately and the found caps will be returned right away. Otherwise, all available typefind functions will the tried, and the caps with the highest probability will be returned, or %NULL if the content of @data could not be identified.
