 * SECTION:gstringbuffer
 * @short_description: Base class for audio ringbuffer implementations
 * @see_also: #GstBaseAudioSink, #GstAudioSink
 *
 * <refsect2>
 * <para>
 * This object is the base class for audio ringbuffers used by the base
 * audio source and sink classes.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * The ringbuffer abstracts a circular buffer of data. One reader and
 * one writer can operate on the data from different threads in a lockfree
 * manner. The base class is sufficiently flexible to be used as an
 * abstraction for DMA based ringbuffers as well as a pure software
 * implementations.
