Webm header data

[Lee Matthews]

Thanks Sebastian, ok I got it to work by getting streamheader and writing it to the file before filesink starts writing to the file (filesink is set to append in order to avoid writing over the streamheader). The below is my code, in case this could help anyone else.

		// Get the caps of the tee element's pad

		// Print the caps
		gchar *capsstr; 
		capsstr = gst_caps_to_string (gst_pad_get_current_caps(pad));
		g_print ("caps: %s\n", capsstr); 
		g_free (capsstr); 

		// Get the streamheader information
		structure = gst_caps_get_structure (caps, 0);
		streamheader = gst_structure_get_value (structure, "streamheader");

		if(!G_IS_VALUE(streamheader))
		{
			g_print("No valid value!");
			return GST_PAD_PROBE_REMOVE;

		// Get the data at the first position within the array	
		GValue *bufval = &g_array_index (bufarr, GValue, 0);

		// Check type of array content

		{
			g_print("Not GST_TYPE_BUFFER type!");
			return GST_PAD_PROBE_REMOVE;
		}

		buf = g_value_peek_pointer (bufval); // Get pointer to buffer
	
		// Get a pointer to the streamheader data and get its size
		if (gst_buffer_map (buf, &map, GST_MAP_READ)) 
		{ 
			g_print("streamheader memory dump\n");  			
			gst_util_dump_mem (map.data, map.size);

			/* Write buffer to disk. */
			pFile = fopen("/data/data/com.mobinet.mobinetbootapp/files/test.webm","wb");

			if (pFile)
			{
				fwrite(map.data, map.size, 1, pFile);
				g_print("Wrote to file!\n");
			}
			else
			{
				g_print("Something wrong writing to File.\n");
			}
		
			fclose(pFile);

	  		gst_buffer_unmap (buf, &map); 
		}  
		else
			g_print("streamheader buffer map FAIL\n");  


		// Add elements
		g_print ("ADDING ELEMENTS!\n");
		queue = gst_element_factory_make ("queue", NULL);
		filesink = gst_element_factory_make ("filesink", NULL);

		g_object_set (filesink, "append", TRUE, NULL);
		g_object_set (filesink, "location", "/data/data/com.mobinet.mobinetbootapp/files/test.webm", NULL);

You could get the caps before linking in the filesink, then first send
the streamheaders buffer and then link it into the pipeline.

You'll have the same problem with Ogg, it works exactly the same way
there.
