Compare the buffer contents with `data` and `size`.

`buffer` : | buffer to compare
`data` : | data to compare to
`size` : | size of data to compare

### gst_check_caps_equal ()

    void                gst_check_caps_equal                (GstCaps *caps1,

Compare two caps with gst_caps_is_equal and fail unless they are equal.

`caps1` : | first caps to compare
`caps2` : | second caps to compare

### gst_check_element_push_buffer_list ()

    void                gst_check_element_push_buffer_list  (const gchar *element_name,
                                                             GList *buffer_in,

Create an `element` with the factory with the name and push the buffers in `buffer_in` to this element. The element should create the buffers equal to the buffers in `buffer_out`. We only check the caps, size and the data of the buffers. This function unrefs the buffers in the two lists. The last_flow_return parameter indicates the expected flow return value from pushing the final buffer in the list. This can be used to set up a test which pushes some buffers and then an invalid buffer, when the final buffer is expected to fail, for example.

`element_name` : | name of the element that needs to be created
`buffer_in` : | a list of buffers that needs to be puched to the element. [element-type GstBuffer][transfer full]
`buffer_out` : | a list of buffers that we expect from the element. [element-type GstBuffer][transfer full]
`last_flow_return` : | the last buffer push needs to give this GstFlowReturn

### gst_check_element_push_buffer ()

    void                gst_check_element_push_buffer       (const gchar *element_name,

Create an `element` with the factory with the name and push the `buffer_in` to this element. The element should create one buffer and this will be compared with `buffer_out`. We only check the caps and the data of the buffers. This function unrefs the buffers.

`element_name` : | name of the element that needs to be created
`buffer_in` : | push this buffer to the element
`buffer_out` : | compare the result with this buffer
