How to bypass prerolling

[Yogesh Tyagi]

Hi,

I tried to remove gstreamer prerolling from my plugin and in READY_TO_PAUSE
transition I tried to directly set my audio device to PAUSE state which
failed. Later I found that audio device needs some information about audio
format to be set before I can set it to PAUSE state.

I found audio format is set in gst_pad_set_setcaps_function which is not
being invoked from gstreamer until one audio buffer is received on audio
pad.This is not letting me set my audio device to PAUSE state and forcing
me to wait for one audio buffer.

Is it possible to get this information about audio format without waiting
for one audio buffer?

Thanks.
Yogesh
