(gst_element_add_pad): DEBUG->INFO, some fixes.
(gst_element_get_compatible_pad_template): Just see if the
templates' caps intersect, not if one is a strict subset of the
other. This conforms more to what gst_pad_link_intersect() does.

* gst/gstpad.c (_gst_real_pad_fixate_accumulator):
s/pointer/boxed/.
* gst/gstmarshal.list (VOID:BOXED, BOXED:BOXED): New marshallers.
* gst/gstpad.c (gst_real_pad_class_init): Use a BOXED:BOXED
marshaller for ::fixate, and VOID:BOXED for ::caps-nego-failed,
with the type=GST_TYPE_CAPS. This allows language bindings to know
what kind of data they're dealing with.
* gst/gstcaps.c (_gst_caps_value_init): GBoxed values initialize
to NULL when g_value_init is called. GstCaps, which rolls its own
type implementation, now does the same instead of allocating empty
caps.
(_gst_caps_initialize, _gst_caps_collect_value,
_gst_caps_lcopy_value): Provide collect_value and lcopy_value type
table methods. This allows G_VALUE_COLLECT to work.

These two routines are the only ones that set
GST_GPAD_REALPAD(gpad), the ghost pad list, and the ghost pad's
pad template. They should be made static, depending on ABI needs.
(gst_real_pad_dispose): Handle the case of ghost pads without a
parent. Assert after dealing with ghost pads that the ghost pad
list is empty.
(gst_ghost_pad_class_init): New property added, ::real-pad. Can be
set after creation.
(gst_ghost_pad_dispose): Set ::real-pad to NULL.
(gst_ghost_pad_set_property, gst_ghost_pad_get_property): New
functions. set_property will call add_ghost_pad/remove_ghost_pad
as appropriate.
(gst_ghost_pad_new): All the work is offloaded to g_object_new.

OK without renegotiating. caps-nego-failed signal fixed so that
the marshaller isn't VOID__OBJECT. Also changed to G_TYPE_POINTER

Original commit message from CVS:
Caps with empty props (which is not NULL - gst_props_new_empty()) can result in an invalid string, so we need to check for empty props (as opposed to NULL props) too.
Original commit message from CVS:
merge TYPEFIND branch. Major changes:

in the future we should have flags on props indicating which ones
it might be interesting for the end-user to change.
* initialize cothreads in the more standard way, and provide some more debugging
Original commit message from CVS:
appending caps to themself is not fatal, is it?
If it is, revert the patch, but please allow gst_caps_append (NULL, NULL);
Original commit message from CVS:
Delay pad negotiation until the element is in READY or higher. this will
gice the element a chance to open its devices before we start calling the
connect functions.
Make sure we use the real pad in the negotiation.
Some other small cleanups.
Original commit message from CVS:
Landed the new improved capsnegotiation system.
The main idea is to keep track of the possible data types that can
pass through a connection. plugins can at any time inspect, adjust and
refine these caps. plugins also get notified when something changes to
the types so that they can reconfigure themselves.
Look at the updated plugins and the soon to be finished doc.
Original commit message from CVS:
gstinfo.[ch], cothreads.c: added initial support for -finstrument_functions
gstbin.c: removed a reference to config.h
gstbuffer.[ch]: added gst_buffer_is_span_fast(), used it in gst_buffer_span
elements/gstfilesrc.c: initial work fleshing out the event handling code
everywhere else: wrapped XML stuff in #ifndef's
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of modifications to the plugin system.
- Added a GstPluginfeature object that serves as a base class for all
plugin contents.
- changed the plugin API, everyhting is now added with
gst_plugin_add_feature
- typefactories are named now so that they can be located easily and filled
in at plugin load.
- mime types like "video/raw image/raw" are gone for now.
- lots of plugin updates (style and API changes)
- tested with an without registry.
- updates to various tools.
- added a little testsuite to test/show how you can load plugins (4 modes)
Test this one, Almost everything has changed :-)
Original commit message from CVS:
The first wave of docs updates
Added a little more comments about the API usage in the api docs.
Some fixes for the capsnego testsuite.
Original commit message from CVS:
A rather large patch:
- changed the API for the padtemplates:
- remove the factories (array of pointers) for the padtemplates,
properties and caps. The static array was a nice idea but converting
all the property values to a gpointer was not a good idea.
float properties were not possible, and casting a gint to a pointer
is not very portable. The new API just uses the _padtemplate_new,
_caps_new and _props_new functions to create the templates.
This has the added benefit that the API is now uniform for static
and dynamic templates and that the code can be made cleaner.
- lots of cleanups in the way the capabilities are constructed (va_list)
- lots of updates for all the plugins (new API)
- docs updates (new API)
- removed the videoraw docs.
Original commit message from CVS:
A rather large update:
- a new videosink using plain X windows (xvideosink). It uses capsnego to
set up it's formats.
- gstplay uses the new xvideosink and a gtk_socket. The initial window
size is set to 0x0 so you need to resize it before you see something.
- got rid of the video metadata include file in favour of properties and
caps negotiation
- adjusted most plugins to not use the metadata.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a plain X videosink, the videosink uses capsnego.
adjusted the v4lsrc so that it uses capsnego on the src pad
Small fixed to capsnego and the properties/caps.
Original commit message from CVS:
Modified a lot of plugins to use the caps system.
Modified the caps of audio/raw to our agreed properties.
Added the multidisksrc plugin of Dominic Ludlam
Renamed audiosink/src to osssink/src and updated all the examples using
the old name. Moved oss specific plugins in an oss directory. removed
the old audiosink from the elements/ dir.
removed audioraw.h metadata header files since we now use the properties.
There are still a few plugins that won't build because they include the
old audioraw.h header file. This will be fixed soon.
Make sure the caps are set in the plugins as described by their
padtemplates (this should solve problems with gstmediaplay with various
media files).
*please don't panic when some plugins won't build, just cd manually into
the plugin dirs* This will be fixed soon.
Original commit message from CVS:
More work on capsnego proxying. It should be OK now.
Added another testcase enum that shows various capsnego algorithms.
Warn about pads that try to set a capability incompatible with their
padtemplate.
Implemented refcounting and copy_on_write for caps/props.
Original commit message from CVS:
Reworked the capsnegotiation function
audiosink now uses capsnego to set its parameters
mpg123/ac3dec use capsnego instead of metadata
Added the beginnings of a testsuite for capsnego.
Original commit message from CVS:
Updated the manual and the docs.
Removed the esdsink in gst/elements/ we have a real one not in the
plugins dir.
Added more APIs to query the plugins, types and caps. more fields now
have a getter and a setter. This is needed to make gstreamer wrapper
fiendly.
Added gst_element_disconnect beacuse we also have a gst_element_connect
Original commit message from CVS:
Mega update of INFO, DEBUG, and ERROR subsystems, renamed with GST_ prefix.
GST_DEBUG now takes a category parameter, which is the same as GST_INFO
system. They are now called GST_CAT_*. All the GST_DEBUGs are set to 0
for now, we need to go and fix all these eventually.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added multiple caps to the pads
Extended the padfactory for the multiple caps
GstCaps now have a name so that future manipulations on them can be done by name
Updated the plugins for the new caps list
