This never really took off - it's hardly used anywhere
and deprecated in favour of Kate. Exposing pads just
leads to confusing 'you are missing a plug-in' messages
when people come across such streams. We could still post
the data on the bus for applications to parse.
In case many packets fit on a page, we may not see a granpos for
a while, and granpos interpolation can wrap the 'frames since last
keyframe' part of the granpos, generating a granpos which is smaller
than what it should be.
This is fixed by detecting keyframe packets (at least for Theora),
and updating the last keyframe granpos from this.
This may still be generating potentially wrong granpos for streams
which have a Theora like granpos (keyframes, a max keyframe distance
and a count of frames since last keyframe), and which allow implicit
granules on packets. For these streams, a custom keyframe detection
routine should be plugged into their GstOggStream mapper.

Opus streams outside of Ogg may not have headers, and oggstream
may be used by oggmux to mux an Opus stream which does not come
from Ogg - thus without headers.
Determining headerness by packet count would strip the first two
packets from such an Opus stream, leading to a very small amount
of audio being clipped at the beginning of the stream.
The codec setup headers are a lot more likely to have correct information,
especially as it's easy to remux a skeleton in a file where streams don't
have the same parameters (I've even seen a file with two skeletons).
Still, this is useful in the case we have a codec we can't decode, so we
can at least (theoretically) convert granpos to time, so we discard this
information if the codec setup has already provided it.
This fixes playback on (at lesat) the original archive.org encoding of
"The Night of the Living Dead" (now replaced by another encoding).

Remove the _ in front of the endianness prefix.
Remove the _3 postfix for the 24 bits formats.
Add a _32 postfix after the formats that occupy extra space beyond their
natural size.
The result is that the GST_AUDIO_NE() macro can simply append the endianness
after all formats and that we only specify a different sample width when it is
different from the natural size of the sample. This makes things more consistent
and follows the pulseaudio conventions instead of the alsa ones.
Ogg mandates the first header packet must determine a stream's type.
However, some streams (such as VP8) do not include such a header
when muxed in other containers, and thus do not include this header
as a buffer, but only in caps. We thus use headers from caps when
available to determine a new stream's type.
