This makes sure we maintain a ref on the discoverer object while the
async timeout callback is alive to prevent a potential crash if the
object is freed while the callback is pending.

We want to make sure the discoverer object passed to the various
callbacks doesn't become invalid if a callback is pending and the object
is free'd in the mean time.

As a result, pipelines that contain multiple instances of audiotestsrc
with the 'wave' property set to 'white-noise', 'pink-noise', or
'gaussian-noise' will run much faster, since they won't be competing
for access to the global, lock-protected instance of GRand.
Fixes bug #642720.
...instead of copying the array. Returning NULL will result
in the original factories array to be used and prevents a useless
array copy in most use cases.

Add notes about the behaviour if multiple signal handlers are connected.
For most autoplug-* signals only the first signal handler will ever
be invoked.
Also add to the autoplug-sort docs that the signal handler can return NULL
to specify that the order should change and other handlers get the chance
to sort the array.
This lock is taken when activating a group, which could result in
calling the autoplug-continue callback, which also needs this lock
to access the sinks.
See bug #642174.
The speed-level property, which allows callers to trade of encoding
quality for speed in the libtheora api, has a version-dependent
maximum and default values. Instead of hardcoding the acceptable
range for the theoraenc element's presentation of this setting,
we query the library directly at class initialization time and
set the maximum and default values from that. If the query fails,
we fall back to the previous default setting.
To keep the values reported by gst-inspect (which I'm told use
the spec values from the class) with those available on an\
instantiated element, we remove to setting of enc->speed_level
from the initializer and instead pass G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT to
the property spec flags, asking g_object to set this property
when theoraenc objects are constructed.
NB in theory the maximum speed-level could depend on the actual
video caps. If later versions of libtheoraenc do this, a second
call will need to be made from theora_enc_reset to update the
property, since this function is mostly useful for realtime
adjustment of performance while the pipeline is running.
Don't build merge the caps of all sinks but check them one-by-one
until one supports the caps. Also get reffed caps from the sinkpads
instead of a writable copy and add debug output if a sink claims to
support ANY caps.
libtheora has two encoding modes, CBR, where it tries to hit a target
bitrate and VBR where it tries to achieve a target quality.
Internally if the target bitrate is set to anything other then 0 the
encoding-mode is CBR.
This means that the gstreamer element can leave the video_quality
setting alone as long as the user is tweaking the bitrate. Which has the
nice side-effect that if the user explicitely sets the bitrate to 0
(which is actually the default), the quality value doesn't get reset and
one ends up encoding VBR at quality-level 0...
