How to operate on GstMapInfo

[dingoegret]

Okay I have it working so far and I'm able to chunk at 16kb. Is the data
coming out of gst_adapter_map still a byte array? Why is it returned as a
gconstpointer (void*)? What's the difference between void* and a pointer to
a unsigned char? How are they connected to the concept of byte arrays? I
just want to uderstand the basic data happening here. In higher level
languages data is less ambiguous. An int is an int and a string is a string,
even if they are implemented differently underneath so I'm coming from that
background I'm really confused what a byte array is and why isnt the data
type set as something like byte[] instead of a pointer to an unsigned char*.
