significance of STREAM_LOCK

[ved kpl]

Streaming thread is a generic term in which your pipeline is running,
which means
when you set the pipeline to playing (from the application thread,
main()), the pipeline
will start running in separate thread(s), which we call as streaming thread(s).

chain function is just a function which is called on the sinkpad when
an upstream element
pushes the buffers down. (chain function is called under streaming
thread context).
