Currently there is no other way to unlock a buffer pool other then
stopping it. This may have the effect of freeing all the buffers,
which is too heavy for a seek. This patch add a method to enter and
leave flushing state. As a convenience, flush_start/flush_stop
virtual are added so pool implementation can also unblock their own
internal poll atomically with the rest of the pool. This is fully
backward compatible with doing stop/start to actually flush the pool
(as being done in GstBaseSrc).

When we call gst_buffer_pool_set_config() the pool may return FALSE and
slightly change the parameters. This helper is useful to do the minial required
validation before accepting the modified configuration.

Tag allocated buffers with TAG_MEMORY. When they are released later,
only add them back to the pool if the tag is still there and the memory
has not been changed, otherwise throw the buffer away.
Add unit test to check various scenarios.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724481
Reset the buffer not after we acquire but before we release into the pool. This
makes sure that the pool only has buffers in a clean state and that we can set
extra metadata on buffers in the acquire method. this means that we need to
remove an argument from the method.
Add a new LOCKED flag to the metadata. Refuse removing LOCKED metadata from
a buffer.
Mark the metadata from the bufferpool LOCKED.
Add unit test for LOCKED flag
Remove the const from the GstCaps in get/set_param. set_param modifies
the refcount of the caps.
Don't increment the refcount of the caps result of get_param like we
do with other objects.
Update some annotiations.
Negotiating padding is needed on second thought so include it in the
ALLOCATION query.
Make the bufferpool take padding into account when allocating.
Make basesrc take padding into account.
Use padding and prefix when allocating in basetransform.
Make it possible to query the supported options of a bufferpool and enable
options. This is a bit more generic than the API to enable metadata. The purpose
is to make it possible to add new custom config options to the configuration of
the bufferpool when supported.
Add a function to retrieve an array of supported metadata apis from the the
bufferpool.
Add functions to configure and query the configured metadata apis in a
bufferpool configuration.
The most common case is to not specify any flags when doing the allocation. Make
the allocation from a pool with a maximum amount of buffers block by default for
this reason.
Keep a pointer to the bufferpool. Release the buffer to the pool when
finalizing. Make sure the pool sets itself as the pool member of buffers that it
sends out.
Add start/stop methods to allow for bulk allocation of buffers.
Free buffers only when all outstanding buffers returned.
Make things more threadsafe wrt flushing and starting/stopping by
keeping track of start and stop method calls.
Use a lock to protect concurrect execution of set_config and set_active.
Start freeing the buffers when flushing and all buffers are returned to the
pool.
Make a copy of the config to avoid crashing with concurrent access.
Keep track if the buffer is configured and block activation when not configured
yet.
Keep track of outstanding buffers and disallow configuration when not all
buffers are returned to the pool. We need to do this or else we might end up
with wrong buffers in the pool.
Add return value to set_active.
Small cleanups. Fix finalize.
Use a GstStructure to provide the pool with the right configuration. Also
provide some helper methods to configure such a structure.
don't pass the config in alloc_buffer, pool implementation will already have
parsed it during set_config.
Update defs
Original commit message from CVS:
- Removed bufferpool code and move that to gstbuffer.c
- implemented refcounting on GstData
- implemented new buffer code based on Company's work in the EVENTS2 branch
- added boxed types for GstData/GstEvent/GstBuffer/GstBufferPool
- added refcounting to bufferpools and events
- use lockfree allocation for buffers
- simplified the clock, use lockfree allocation
- use GQueue in GstQueue for faster access to the tail element
- update core plugins to the new event API
Original commit message from CVS:
API docs.
revived _buffer_ref_by_count
fast types for scheduler and bin.
error checking on plugin features;
removed some prototypes that were not implemented (gst_pipeline_iterate
comes to mind)
remove gst_pad_event until we know what it's supposed to do.
remove sinesrc, it wasn't compiles anymore, so...
updates to various elements that used the old event API.
Original commit message from CVS:
The bufferpool api has changed. Check gstbufferpool.h to see the updated
interface.
Also, the default bufferpool implementation has been finished somewhat. Take a
look at speed.c to see an example of its use, when I get the plugins committed.
Original commit message from CVS:
added ref counting to the buffer pool. also _destroy will clean up the buffer pool mem_chunk if it is the default implementation
