[gst-devel] Problem using GstAdapter in GstBaseTransform-based element

[Dominique Würtz]

Hi,

I'm creating an GstElement derived from GstBaseTransform. For this I 
need to use a GstAdapter. Unfortunately, it seems that adapters don't 
work with transform elements. A (test) implementation of the 
_transform() vfunc as listed below results in a segfault. It seems that 
somewhere outside _transform() the inbuf is destroyed though this has 
already been done by gst_adapter_flush(). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

static GstFlowReturn
my_element_transform (GstBaseTransform *trans, GstBuffer *inbuf,
                      GstBuffer *outbuf)
{
    MyElement *filter;

    filter = MY_ELEMENT (trans);
    gst_adapter_push (filter->adapter, inbuf);

    while (gst_adapter_available (filter->adapter) >= 512) {
        gst_adapter_peek (filter->adapter, 512);
        gst_adapter_flush (filter->adapter, 512);
    }

    return GST_FLOW_OK;
}

Regards,
Dominique
