In this day and age this should be safe. There's otherwise a risk people
will be creating unneccessarily big WebM files as they can't use
SimpleBlock in v1.
The original plan was to let WebM v1 be the same as Matroska v2 (with
extra constraints), but for simplicity it was decided to handle the
versions equally, such that e.g. SimpleBlock is only allowed in WebM v2.
Failure to do this for corrupt input can cause a subbuffer bigger
than the actual buffer to be created, quickly leading to segfault.
Test case:
bug_s222005751_r0.001____memcpy.webm
The comment says this cannot happen, but it did and I don't know
why. This is not the correct fix, needs investigation. Test case:
bug_s555010094_r0.0005:0.008____IA__g_assertion_message_expr.webm
This was triggering an UTF-8 assertion in gst_caps_set_simple for
corrupt files with garbage as codec id. Test case:
gstreamer_error_trying_to_set_invalid_utf8_as_codec_id.webm
Old gst_ebml_read_ascii renamed to gst_ebml_read_string, also used by
gst_ebml_read_utf8. Unlike for UTF-8, failure to validate is an error,
as gst_ebml_read_ascii is used for reading doctype and codec id and we
might just as well give up early in those cases.
Because GstMatroskaTrackContext *stream is set up in the first
SimpleBlock or Block, a rogue CodecState otherwise causes a segfault on
derefencing the NULL pointer. Test case:
bug_s5506167_r0.001____gst_matroska_demux_parse_blockgroup_or_simpleblock.webm
It probably will not be in the final RFC as it is not in RFC 5215 for Vorbis.
If there is a configuration specified, assume it is in-line and if nothing is
specified, assume it is in-band.

Don't blindly add the durations of incomming buffers to the total queued
duration because it might be invalid. Mark the total queued duration invalid
when we receive an invalid incomming timestamp because that's when we lose track
of the total queued duration.

OSS4 supports per-stream volume control, so expose this using the right
API, so that playbin2 and applications like totem can make use of it
(instead of using a volume element for volume control).
Fixes#614305.
When iterating the formats table, we can just pass the whole
entry to our helper function, which avoids iterating the table
again to find the entry structure from the passed format id.
Also accept formats that are not natively supported by the
hardware, OSS4 can convert them internally. List the native
formats first in the caps though, to express our preference
for the native formats. We need this in order to support the
case properly where the audio hardware supports only e.g.
little endian PCM, but the host is big endian, since many
audio elements only support native endianness and make the
reasonable assumption that any audiosink will be able to
handle audio in native endianness.

Fixes#614317.
A side effect is that it passes -Wformat-nonliteral and doesn't read
invalid memory in some cases, like when the mixer track contains
a % sign or there is a number but not a known mixer name.
