[gst-devel] accessing data in a pipeline / manually iterating

[Dominique Würtz]

Hi,

I plan to create an audio waveform display for my app which uses 
gstreamer. For this I plan to use an arbitrary GstPipeline as the source 
for audio data. What I would need is to access the data flowing into the 
sink of the pipeline when an expose event (in case of implementing a 
GtkWidget) occurs after seeking the pipeline in order to read in the 
region of the audio stream to display.
The problem is that I don't know if there's a way to access the buffer 
data from outside the scheduler. Do I have to kind of manually iterate 
the pipeline so that data flows? Would be nice if someone could provide 
some code snippets or point me to examples which give me an idea of how 
this would work. Or maybe this approach won't work at all?

Thanks,

Dominique Würtz
