Description

Data is queued until one of the limits specified by the "max-size-buffers", "max-size-bytes" and/or "max-size-time" properties has been reached. Any attempt to push more buffers into the queue will block the pushing thread until more space becomes available.

The queue will create a new thread on the source pad to decouple the processing on sink and source pad.

You can query how many buffers are queued by reading the "current-level-buffers" property.

The default queue size limits are 100 buffers, 2MB of data, or two seconds worth of data, whichever is reached first.

If you set temp-tmpl to a value such as /tmp/gstreamer-XXXXXX, the element will allocate a random free filename and buffer data in the file. By using this, it will buffer the entire stream data on the file independently of the queue size limits, they will only be used for buffering statistics.

Since 0.10.24, setting the temp-location property with a filename is deprecated because it's impossible to securely open a temporary file in this way. The property will still be used to notify the application of the allocated filename, though.
