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.
