defmodule Membrane.Sink do @moduledoc """ Module defining behaviour for sinks - elements consuming data. Behaviours for sinks are specified, besides this place, in modules `Membrane.Element.Base`, and `Membrane.Element.WithInputPads`. Sink elements can define only input pads. Job of a usual sink is to receive some data on such pad and consume it (write to a soundcard, send through TCP etc.). If the pad has the flow control set to `:manual`, then element is also responsible for requesting demands when it is able and willing to consume data (for more details, see `t:Membrane.Element.Action.demand/0`). Sinks, like all elements, can of course have multiple pads if needed to provide more complex solutions. """ alias Membrane.Core.DocsHelper @doc """ Brings all the stuff necessary to implement a sink element. Options: - `:bring_pad?` - if true (default) requires and aliases `Membrane.Pad` - `:flow_control_hints?` - if true (default) generates compile-time warnings \ if the number, direction, and type of flow control of pads are likely to cause unintended \ behaviours.
