/**
 * This base class is for filter elements that process data. Elements
 * that are suitable for implementation using #GstBaseTransform are ones
 * where the size and caps of the output is known entirely from the input
 * caps and buffer sizes. These include elements that directly transform
 * one buffer into another, modify the contents of a buffer in-place, as
 * well as elements that collate multiple input buffers into one output buffer,
 * or that expand one input buffer into multiple output buffers. See below
 * for more concrete use cases.
 * 
 * It provides for:
 * 
 * * one sinkpad and one srcpad
 * * Possible formats on sink and source pad implemented
 * with custom transform_caps function. By default uses
 * same format on sink and source.
 * 
 * * Handles state changes
 * * Does flushing
 * * Push mode
 * * Pull mode if the sub-class transform can operate on arbitrary data
 * 
 * # Use Cases
 * 
 * ## Passthrough mode
 * 
 * * Element has no interest in modifying the buffer. It may want to inspect it,
 * in which case the element should have a transform_ip function. If there
 * is no transform_ip function in passthrough mode, the buffer is pushed
 * intact.
 * 
 * * The #GstBaseTransformClass.passthrough_on_same_caps variable
 * will automatically set/unset passthrough based on whether the
 * element negotiates the same caps on both pads.
 * 
 * * #GstBaseTransformClass.passthrough_on_same_caps on an element that
 * doesn't implement a transform_caps function is useful for elements that
 * only inspect data (such as level)
 * 
 * * Example elements
 * 
 * * Level
 * * Videoscale, audioconvert, videoconvert, audioresample in certain modes.
 * 
 * ## Modifications in-place - input buffer and output buffer are the same thing.
 * 
 * * The element must implement a transform_ip function.
 * * Output buffer size must <= input buffer size
 * * If the always_in_place flag is set, non-writable buffers will be copied
 * and passed to the transform_ip function, otherwise a new buffer will be
 * created and the transform function called.
 * 
 * * Incoming writable buffers will be passed to the transform_ip function
 * immediately.
 * * only implementing transform_ip and not transform implies always_in_place = %TRUE
 * 
 * * Example elements:
 * * Volume
 * * Audioconvert in certain modes (signed/unsigned conversion)
 * * videoconvert in certain modes (endianness swapping)
 * 
 * ## Modifications only to the caps/metadata of a buffer
 * 
 * * The element does not require writable data, but non-writable buffers
 * should be subbuffered so that the meta-information can be replaced.
 * 
 * * Elements wishing to operate in this mode should replace the
 * prepare_output_buffer method to create subbuffers of the input buffer
 * and set always_in_place to %TRUE
 * 
 * * Example elements
 * * Capsfilter when setting caps on outgoing buffers that have
 * none.
 * * identity when it is going to re-timestamp buffers by
 * datarate.
 * 
 * ## Normal mode
 * * always_in_place flag is not set, or there is no transform_ip function
 * * Element will receive an input buffer and output buffer to operate on.
 * * Output buffer is allocated by calling the prepare_output_buffer function.
 * * Example elements:
 * * Videoscale, videoconvert, audioconvert when doing
 * scaling/conversions
 * 
 * ## Special output buffer allocations
 * * Elements which need to do special allocation of their output buffers
 * beyond allocating output buffers via the negotiated allocator or
 * buffer pool should implement the prepare_output_buffer method.
 * 
 * * Example elements:
 * * efence
 * 
 * # Sub-class settable flags on GstBaseTransform
 * 
 * * passthrough
 * 
 * * Implies that in the current configuration, the sub-class is not interested in modifying the buffers.
 * * Elements which are always in passthrough mode whenever the same caps has been negotiated on both pads can set the class variable passthrough_on_same_caps to have this behaviour automatically.
 * 
 * * always_in_place
 * * Determines whether a non-writable buffer will be copied before passing
 * to the transform_ip function.
 * 
 * * Implied %TRUE if no transform function is implemented.
 * * Implied %FALSE if ONLY transform function is implemented.
