 * @short_description: allocate memory blocks
 * @see_also: #GstMemory
 *
 * Memory is usually created by allocators with a gst_allocator_alloc()
 * method call. When NULL is used as the allocator, the default allocator will
 * be used.
 *
 * New allocators can be registered with gst_allocator_register().
 * Allocators are identified by name and can be retrieved with
 * gst_allocator_find(). gst_allocator_set_default() can be used to change the
 * default allocator.
 *
 * New memory can be created with gst_memory_new_wrapped() that wraps the memory
 * allocated elsewhere.
