audio buffer

## GstAudioBuffer

A structure containing the result of an audio buffer map operation, which is executed with gst_audio_buffer_map. For non-interleaved (planar) buffers, the beginning of each channel in the buffer has its own pointer in the planes array. For interleaved buffers, the planes array only contains one item, which is the pointer to the beginning of the buffer, and n_planes equals 1.

The different channels in planes are always in the GStreamer channel order.

        #python wrapper for 'gst_audio_buffer_clip'

Clip the buffer to the given Gst.Segment.

After calling this function the caller does not own a reference to buffer anymore.

#### gst_audio_buffer_map

    gboolean
    gst_audio_buffer_map (GstAudioBuffer * buffer,
                          const GstAudioInfo * info,
                          GstBuffer * gstbuffer,
                          GstMapFlags flags)

Maps an audio gstbuffer so that it can be read or written and stores the result of the map operation in buffer.

This is especially useful when the gstbuffer is in non-interleaved (planar) layout, in which case this function will use the information in the gstbuffer's attached GstAudioMeta in order to map each channel in a separate "plane" in GstAudioBuffer. If a GstAudioMeta is not attached on the gstbuffer, then it must be in interleaved layout.

If a GstAudioMeta is attached, then the GstAudioInfo on the meta is checked against info. Normally, they should be equal, but in case they are not, a g_critical will be printed and the GstAudioInfo from the meta will be used.

In non-interleaved buffers, it is possible to have each channel on a separate GstMemory. In this case, each memory will be mapped separately to avoid copying their contents in a larger memory area. Do note though that it is not supported to have a single channel spanning over two or more different GstMemory objects. Although the map operation will likely succeed in this case, it will be highly sub-optimal and it is recommended to merge all the memories in the buffer before calling this function.

Note: The actual GstBuffer is not ref'ed, but it is required to stay valid as long as it's mapped.

Parameters:

`buffer` ( [out]) –

pointer to a GstAudioBuffer

`info` –

the audio properties of the buffer

`gstbuffer` ( [transfer: none]) –

the GstBuffer to be mapped

`flags` –

the access mode for the memory

Returns –

TRUE if the map operation succeeded or FALSE on failure

        // javascript wrapper for 'gst_audio_buffer_map'
    }

Maps an audio gstbuffer so that it can be read or written and stores the result of the map operation in buffer.

This is especially useful when the gstbuffer is in non-interleaved (planar) layout, in which case this function will use the information in the gstbuffer's attached GstAudio.AudioMeta in order to map each channel in a separate "plane" in GstAudio.AudioBuffer. If a GstAudio.AudioMeta is not attached on the gstbuffer, then it must be in interleaved layout.
