# fakeaudiosink

This element is the same as fakesink but will pretend to act as an audio sink supporting the `GstStreamVolume` interface. This is useful for throughput testing while creating a new pipeline or for CI purposes on machines not running a real audio daemon.

## Example launch lines

     gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc ! fakeaudiosink

Presence – always

Direction – sink

Object type – GstPad

## Signals

### handoff

    handoff_callback (GstElement * fakeaudiosink,
                      GstBuffer * buffer,
                      GstPad * pad,
                      gpointer udata)

    def handoff_callback (fakeaudiosink, buffer, pad, udata):
        #python callback for the 'handoff' signal

    function handoff_callback(fakeaudiosink: GstElement * fakeaudiosink, buffer: GstBuffer * buffer, pad: GstPad * pad, udata: gpointer udata): {
        // javascript callback for the 'handoff' signal
    }

This signal gets emitted before unreffing the buffer.

Parameters:

`fakeaudiosink` –

the fakeaudiosink instance

`buffer` –

the buffer that just has been received

`pad` –

the pad that received it

`udata` –

### preroll-handoff

    preroll_handoff_callback (GstElement * fakeaudiosink,
                              GstBuffer * buffer,
                              GstPad * pad,
                              gpointer udata)

    def preroll_handoff_callback (fakeaudiosink, buffer, pad, udata):
        #python callback for the 'preroll-handoff' signal

    function preroll_handoff_callback(fakeaudiosink: GstElement * fakeaudiosink, buffer: GstBuffer * buffer, pad: GstPad * pad, udata: gpointer udata): {
        // javascript callback for the 'preroll-handoff' signal
    }

This signal gets emitted before unreffing the buffer.

Parameters:

`fakeaudiosink` –

the fakeaudiosink instance

`buffer` –

the buffer that just has been received

`pad` –

the pad that received it

`udata` –
