  pydoc gst is the only valid documentation AFAIK.

  The data is pushed in a stream, when it arrives on the basesink sink
pad the following happens:
  * data arrives on sinkpad
  * if (sync==true) && render : wait for sync time and then call render
  * else if render: call render without waiting
  * else : discard buffer
  * Thread goes back to whatever pushes the data (a function in a
source element for ex)

  The datastream is one thread continuously pushing buffers through
the various elements. If at one point that thread needs to wait for
synchronization... it will slow down the rate at which buffers are
pushed.
