[gst-devel] What plugin elements to implement for a multi input frame/audio grabber ?

[goussepi]

Hello,

I am looking at implemeting a plugin for a multi inputs audio and frame
grabber (eg 8 composite inputs and 8 audio analogue inputs).

It would have to allow each input to have different pipelines connected to
it.

The hardware is a single device with 8 mmaped video buffer and 8 mmaped
audio buffers which all share the same configuration setup when opening the
device.

Should i look at implementing a source plugin with 1 audio and 1 video
source pad which will randomly return a buffer from each 8 channel, but then
how do i redirect it to the appropriate pipeline ?

Or instanciate 8 source elements for video and 8 source elements for audio,
but only 1 element initialise the hardware which seems ugly ?

Regards,

Pierre
