Members

cBuffers
Count of buffers at this allocator.
cbBuffer
Size of each buffer in bytes, excluding any prefix.
cbAlign
Alignment of the buffer; buffer start will be aligned on a multiple of this value.
cbPrefix
Each buffer is preceded by a prefix of this many bytes.

Remarks

The CMediaSample::GetPointermember function points to the beginning of the buffer, not including the prefix bytes designated by cbPrefix.

The alignment is applied to the prefix data, if any. If a nonzero prefix is used, the beginning of the prefix is aligned according to cbAlign. Since the buffer pointer returned by IMediaSample::GetPointerpoints to the area immediately following the prefix, the cbPrefixaddress (the value returned by IMediaSample::GetPointerminus cbPrefix) should be aligned on an address that is a multiple of cbAlignbytes.
