	/**
	Function called by a MDataSink to request the data source to fill aBuffer with data.

	This is a pure virtual function that each derived class must implement.
	This method is used when a data source is passively waiting for requests from a consumer ie. a data sink
	to fill a buffer. The data source must call the BufferFilledL member on aConsumer when it has filled
	the buffer with data. The data source can either make this callback synchronously or asynchronously.

	The format should read the frame number of the buffer via the buffer's CMMFBuffer::FrameNumber()
	function. From this, the format should be able to determine the actual position of the data on
	the data source. The technique here depends on the nature of the format. For a linear audio
	format, the position can be obtained by a simple calculation of the frame size, the header size
	and where appropriate the datatype.

	For non-linear formats, either an index table of frame number and location will need to be
	created in the NewL() or some form of approximating algorithm will be required. Some formats
	have an index table as part of the format eg. AVI. If no random access is required then no index
	table is required, the format can keep track of the current read position and increment it on
	each access, and reset it if the frame number is reset to 0 or 1. Given that for non-linear
	ie. variable bit rate formats, the size of the data read may vary from frame to frame, then the
	format should either set the request size of the buffer for the required frame or call the
	source's ReadBufferL() (either CMMFClip::ReadBufferL(), CMMFDescriptor ::ReadBufferL() or
	CMMFFile::ReadBufferL()) function that takes the aLength parameter.

	It is the responsibility of the format decode to determine the size and position of the source
	data for each frame. For linear audio formats, the format decode should fill the buffer up to
	its maximum length. For multimedia formats e.g. mp4, AVI etc, the format decode is effectively
	acting as a demultiplexor, and must obtain the appropriate data from the source depending on
	the aMediaId.

	@param  aBuffer
	        The buffer that needs filling with data.
	@param  aConsumer
	        The data sink that consumes the data. The data source needs this to make the BufferFilledL

	        This identifies the type of media eg. audio or video and the stream ID.

	        of more than one media type and/or multiple strams of data eg. a multimedia file.
