The ccextractor appliance currently generates payloads that have data of type string, but the Payload documentation specifies that payloads are of type Buffer.
There are two possible fixes:
1) Wrapping the data in Buffer.from
2) Updating the buffer documentation to say it is either a buffer or a string, depending on the payload type.
I believe the current Avro payload definition allows for bytes or strings, so it should be adjusted if we decide to not allow strings.
If we do wrap in a buffer, we may need to update appliances that consume caption payloads right now to properly convert from buffer to string.
