[gst-devel] querry : how the chain function and the activate_push function is called by the gstreamer core?

[arnabsamanta]

 Hi ,
	there are two functions in the queue element namely
			gst_queue_chain() which does all the data processing
			gst_queue_src_activate_push() which pushes away the data out of the
plugin

	Can any body tell me how exactly these two functions - gst_plugin_chain()
and gst_plugin_src_activate_push() will be 	called ?

	both the functions are declared in the plugin_init ()

	is it like once the chain() is called and then the src_activate_push () is
called and the loop gets repeated with chain				() and src_activate_push()
alternately ? but then i added a counter in both these functions and
displayed once they are called and observed that only the chain() function
is displayed and not the 				other one in the src_activate_push
							or,
			the chain() function is called and after its data processing is
completely over , then the 						src_activate_push () is called ? if this is
the case , then how the data is sent to the source 					element from the
filesrc element which send 4K bytes each time ? because to my understanding
if the 				chain() is executed at a time , then the entire file has to be
read and stord at once , which is 				quite not possible. am i right ?


	I am unable to understand the squence by which the gstreamer core calls the
functions declared in the init()
