	Request from CMMFDataPath to fill the specified buffer.

	The CMMFFormat needs to break this down into one or more reads from the clip

	(from MDataSource - CMMFFormatDecode is a MDataSource to a CMMFDataPath consumer).

	This is a virtual function that each derived class must implement.

	This method is the means by which data is obtained from the data source. aBuffer is

	the buffer that needs filling from the source data stream as identified by aMediaId. The

	format should read the frame number of the buffer via the buffer's CMMFBuffer::FrameNumber()

	method. 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 e.g. 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 i.e. 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.

	effectively a trade off between being too small which will affect performance as more source reads

	are required, and being too large which will give very coarse positioning granularity. For pcm data,

	a buffer size of 4K is a good compromise. The same compromise also applies when deciding to put multiple

	audio frames into one format frame. The sink buffer size may also effect the format buffer size and

	the controller may use this to suggest a buffer size to the format by calling the format's SuggestSourceBufferSize()
