this is correct. To ellaborate a bit on davids reply - this applies only
to buffers allocated with gst_buffer_new_and_alloc /
gst_buffer_try_new_and_alloc and so on. If elements allocate own memory
(e.g. xvimagesink) this is not guaranteed (in my case xvimagesink
allocated buffers' alignment is fine). So you should still check those
situations.
