/**
 * SECTION:gstbaseparse
 * @short_description: Base class for stream parsers
 * @see_also: #GstBaseTransform
 *
 * This base class is for parser elements that process data and splits it 
 * into separate audio/video/whatever frames.
 *
 * It provides for:
 * <itemizedlist>
 *   <listitem><para>One sinkpad and one srcpad</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Handles state changes</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Does flushing</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Push mode</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Pull mode</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Handles events (NEWSEGMENT/EOS/FLUSH)</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Handles seeking in both modes</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *        Handles POSITION/DURATION/SEEKING/FORMAT/CONVERT queries
 *   </para></listitem>
 * </itemizedlist>
 *
 * The purpose of this base class is to provide a basic functionality of
 * a parser and share a lot of rather complex code.
 *
 * Description of the parsing mechanism:
 * <orderedlist>
 * <listitem>
 *   <itemizedlist><title>Set-up phase</title>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     GstBaseParse class calls @set_sink_caps to inform the subclass about
 *     incoming sinkpad caps. Subclass should set the srcpad caps accordingly.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     GstBaseParse calls @start to inform subclass that data processing is
 *     about to start now.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *      At least in this point subclass needs to tell the GstBaseParse class
 *      how big data chunks it wants to receive (min_frame_size). It can do 
 *      this with @gst_base_parse_set_min_frame_size.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *      GstBaseParse class sets up appropriate data passing mode (pull/push)
 *      and starts to process the data.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   </itemizedlist>
 * </listitem>
 * <listitem>
 *   <itemizedlist>
 *   <title>Parsing phase</title>
 *     <listitem><para>
 *       GstBaseParse gathers at least min_frame_size bytes of data either 
 *       by pulling it from upstream or collecting buffers into internal
 *       #GstAdapter.
 *     </para></listitem>
 *     <listitem><para>
 *       A buffer of min_frame_size bytes is passed to subclass with
 *       @check_valid_frame. Subclass checks the contents and returns TRUE
 *       if the buffer contains a valid frame. It also needs to set the
 *       @framesize according to the detected frame size. If buffer didn't
 *       contain a valid frame, this call must return FALSE and optionally
 *       set the @skipsize value to inform base class that how many bytes
 *       it needs to skip in order to find a valid frame. The passed buffer
 *       is read-only.  Note that @check_valid_frame might receive any small
 *       amount of input data when leftover data is being drained (e.g. at EOS).
 *     </para></listitem>
 *     <listitem><para>
 *       After valid frame is found, it will be passed again to subclass with
 *       @parse_frame call. Now subclass is responsible for parsing the
 *       frame contents and setting the buffer timestamp, duration and caps.
 *     </para></listitem>
 *     <listitem><para>
 *       Finally the buffer can be pushed downstream and parsing loop starts
 *       over again.
 *     </para></listitem>
 *     <listitem><para>
 *       During the parsing process GstBaseParseClass will handle both srcpad and
 *       sinkpad events. They will be passed to subclass if @event or
 *       @src_event callbacks have been provided.
 *     </para></listitem>
 *   </itemizedlist>
 * </listitem>
 * <listitem>
 *   <itemizedlist><title>Shutdown phase</title>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     GstBaseParse class calls @stop to inform the subclass that data
 *     parsing will be stopped.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   </itemizedlist>
 * </listitem>
 * </orderedlist>
 *
 * Subclass is responsible for providing pad template caps for
 * source and sink pads. The pads need to be named "sink" and "src". It also 
 * needs to set the fixed caps on srcpad, when the format is ensured (e.g. 
 * when base class calls subclass' @set_sink_caps function).
 *
 * This base class uses GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT as a meaning of frames. So,
 * subclass conversion routine needs to know that conversion from
 * GST_FORMAT_TIME to GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT must return the
 * frame number that can be found from the given byte position.
 *
 * GstBaseParse uses subclasses conversion methods also for seeking. If
 * subclass doesn't provide @convert function, seeking will get disabled.
 *
 * Subclass @start and @stop functions will be called to inform the beginning
 * and end of data processing.
 *
 * Things that subclass need to take care of:
 * <itemizedlist>
 *   <listitem><para>Provide pad templates</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *      Fixate the source pad caps when appropriate
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *      Inform base class how big data chunks should be retrieved. This is
 *      done with @gst_base_parse_set_min_frame_size function.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *      Examine data chunks passed to subclass with @check_valid_frame
 *      and tell if they contain a valid frame
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *      Set the caps and timestamp to frame that is passed to subclass with
 *      @parse_frame function.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Provide conversion functions</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *      Update the duration information with @gst_base_parse_set_duration
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *      Alternatively, parsing (or specs) might yield a frames per seconds rate
 *      which can be provided to GstBaseParse to enable it to cater for
 *      buffer time metadata (which will be taken from upstream as much as possible).
 *      Internally keeping track of frames and respective
 *      sizes that have been pushed provides GstBaseParse with a bytes per frame
 *      rate.  A default @convert (used if not overriden) will then use these
 *      rates to perform obvious conversions.  These rates are also used to update
 *      (estimated) duration at regular frame intervals.
 *      If no (fixed) frames per second rate applies, default conversion will be
 *      based on (estimated) bytes per second (but no default buffer metadata
 *      can be provided in this case).
 *   </para></listitem>
 * </itemizedlist>
