[gst-devel] appsrc and appsink elements

[David SIORPAES]

Hello,

I would like to exchange buffers which are allocated and managed by an 
application of mine to and from a GStreamer pipeline.

By reading the documentation it looks like the appsrc/appsink are the 
solution for me, but I am also reading here 
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-data-spoof.html
that

"New API is being developed at the moment to make data insertion and 
extraction less painful for applications. It can be found as GstAppSrc 
and GstAppSink in the gst-plugins-bad module. At the time of writing 
(October 2007), this API is not quite stable and ready yet, even though 
it may work fine for your purposes."

So, may I ask whether it is safe to use such elements or not ? Or are 
there alternative solutions ?


Thanks,

David S.
