Add _set_value() variants that take ownership of the value passed
instead of making a copy of the value. This is useful for setting
values to things that aren't refcounted (e.g. GValueArrays or
strings or string arrays, etc.).
API: gst_structure_take_value()
API: gst_structure_id_take_value()

Add a GstStructure to GstElementClass and GstElementFactory. Add setters/getter.
Handle it in the registry code. Print items in gst-inspect.
Fixes#396774.
API: gst_element_class_set_meta_data(), gst_element_factory_get_meta_data_detail()
Added a new query type to retrieve informations about the areas of the
media currently buffered. See bug 623121.
API: gst_query_add_buffering_range
API: gst_query_get_n_buffering_ranges
API: gst_query_parse_nth_buffering_range
A pad is 'negotiable' when its container element is in a state greater
than GST_STATE_READY

This allows removing structures from caps without them being freed. Helpful when
plugins need to move around structures without having to do an expensive structure
copy.

gst_event_new_sink_message()
gst_event_parse_sink_message()
This event is used for sending a GstMessage downstream and synchronized
with the stream, to be posted by the sink once it reaches the sink.
Fixes bug #602275.
gst_util_greatest_common_divisor()
gst_util_double_to_fraction()
gst_util_fraction_to_double()
Using these instead of going over GValue has much lower overhead.
Also add float<->fraction transform functions for GValue.
This returns the internal feature list cookie, which changes every
time a feature is added or removed. This can be used by elements
to check if they should update their cached feature lists.
In most places in core and baseclasses we just need the caps to do caps-
intersections. In that case ref'ed caps are enough (no need to copy).
This patch also switches the code to use the new functions.
API: gst_pad_get_caps_refed(), gst_pad_peer_get_caps_refed()
Often we don't need the result of the intersection. Add a variant that only
tries to intersect. It can break out earlier and does less GValue copying.
API: gst_caps_can_intersect()
Add a new macro GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET to get a log category by name. This
allows plugins to use e.g. core categories like PERFORMANCE or CLOCK.
API: GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET
Add new method to iterate a bufferlist without having to allocate an iterator.
Add convenience method for getting an item from the list based on the group and
index.
Remove redundant _do_data callback and method.
Update unit-tests and add some more for the new methods.
Add functions to create a new tag list and set tags in one go, which
is nice for use in combination with functions that take ownership of
the taglist, such as gst_event_new_tag() or gst_element_found_tags().
API: add gst_tag_list_new_full()
API: add gst_tag_list_new_full_valist()
Add a bunch of vararg getter convenience functions to complement
the vararg setter functions, and a basic unit test. Fixes#534208.
API: gst_structure_get()
API: gst_structure_id_get()
API: gst_structure_get_valist()
API: gst_structure_id_get_valist()
The first time one calls gst_element_factory_make(), gst recreates the plugin
feature and the element factory. As a side effect we ref the class to fill
in detail we already have filled from the registry cache. This patch changes
the behaviour to just update the existing entries. The factory is now attached
to the type and set in gst_element_base_class_init().
Add gst_segment_to_position() that converts a running_time to a position in the
segment. A faulty variant of this function is currently used in inputselector
but we'll need it for frame stepping too.
API: GstSegment::gst_segment_to_position()
Add new STEP event and methods for creating/parsing the event
Update design docs.
Add new STEP_DONE message and method to create/parse.
API: GstEvent::gst_event_new_step()
API: GstEvent::gst_event_parse_step()
API: GstMessage::gst_message_new_step_done()
API: GstMessage::gst_message_parse_step_done()
