/**
 * gst_buffer_straw_start_pipeline:
 * @bin: the pipeline to run
 * @pad: a pad on an element in @bin
 *
 * Sets up a pipeline for buffer sucking. This will allow you to call
 * gst_buffer_straw_get_buffer() to access buffers as they pass over @pad.
 *
 * This function is normally used in unit tests that want to verify that a
 * particular element is outputting correct buffers. For example, you would make
 * a pipeline via gst_parse_launch(), pull out the pad you want to monitor, then
 * call gst_buffer_straw_get_buffer() to get the buffers that pass through @pad.
 * The pipeline will block until you have sucked off the buffers.
 *
 * This function will set the state of @bin to PLAYING; to clean up, be sure to
 * call gst_buffer_straw_stop_pipeline().
 *
 * Note that you may not start two buffer straws at the same time. This function
 * is intended for unit tests, not general API use. In fact it calls fail_if
 * from libcheck, so you cannot use it outside unit tests.
