Add a new pad flag NEED_PARENT that ensures that the parent of a pad is
reffed and not NULL when the event, query and internal links functions
are called.
When a pad is added to an element automatically make sure the NEED_PARENT flag
is enabled.
fix the proxy functions for query_accept_caps and query_caps to use the pad
forward helper functions which correctly forwards on the internally linked pads.
Remove the getcaps function on the pad and use the CAPS query for
the same effect.
Add PROXY_CAPS to the pad flags. This instructs the default caps event and query
handlers to pass on the CAPS related queries and events. This simplifies a lot
of elements that passtrough caps negotiation.
Make two utility functions to proxy caps queries and aggregate the result. Needs
to use the pad forward function instead later.
Make the _query_peer_ utility functions use the gst_pad_peer_query() function to
make sure the probes are emited properly.
Make that implizit with attaching/detaching controlsources. This is a lot easier
and has less invalid state (controlled property without control source).
No one but filesrc used that API. Should probably be replaced by
requiring an "uri" property instead, and then objects can do a
notify on that. Also removed interface structure padding, it's
not needed.
Instead of printing separate 'Current' and 'Default' values
(the former obtained via g_object_get() and the latter from
the property GParamSpec), simply print the Current value as
the Default value. This is the right thing to do for almost
all elements and avoids confusion if a subclass of a base
class chooses a different default than the base class.
This make the controller even more lightweight (no extra object, no extra lock,
less indirections). For object that don't use the controller the only 'overhead'
is a 3 unused fields in the gst_object structure.
Don't rely on the return value of a vmethod to trigger the default
implementation but make a real defaul implementation of the method that the
subclass can chain up to.
