 * @stop: stop the bufferpool. the default implementation will free the
 *        preallocated buffers. This function is called when all the buffers are
 *        returned to the pool.
 * @acquire_buffer: get a new buffer from the pool. The default implementation
 *        will take a buffer from the queue and optionally wait for a buffer to
 *        be released when there are no buffers available.
 * @alloc_buffer: allocate a buffer. the default implementation allocates
 *        buffers from the configured memory allocator and with the configured
 *        parameters. All metadata that is present on the allocated buffer will
 *        be marked as #GST_META_FLAG_POOLED and #GST_META_FLAG_LOCKED and will
 *        not be removed from the buffer in @reset_buffer. The buffer should
 *        have the GST_BUFFER_FLAG_TAG_MEMORY cleared.
 * @reset_buffer: reset the buffer to its state when it was freshly allocated.
 *        The default implementation will clear the flags, timestamps and
 *        will remove the metadata without the #GST_META_FLAG_POOLED flag (even
 *        the metadata with #GST_META_FLAG_LOCKED). If the
 *        #GST_BUFFER_FLAG_TAG_MEMORY was set, this function can also try to
 *        restore the memory and clear the #GST_BUFFER_FLAG_TAG_MEMORY again.
 * @release_buffer: release a buffer back in the pool. The default
 *        implementation will put the buffer back in the queue and notify any
 *        blocking acquire_buffer calls when the #GST_BUFFER_FLAG_TAG_MEMORY
 *        is not set on the buffer. If #GST_BUFFER_FLAG_TAG_MEMORY is set, the
 *        buffer will be freed with @free_buffer.
 * @free_buffer: free a buffer. The default implementation unrefs the buffer.
 * @flush_start: enter the flushing state. (Since 1.4)
 * @flush_stop: leave the flushign state. (Since 1.4)
