A common use case of a dynamically built pipeline is that you want to
(conditionally) find a certain element, e.g. the `rtpbin`s in a
`uridecodebin`. If that element has a fixed name inside its parent bin
(and only has a single instance) this can be easily done by
`gst_bin_get_by_name()`.
If there are multiple instances of the element however, you can only use
`gst_bin_iterate_all_by_interface()`, but this doesn't work if you don't
have the specific `GType` (which is often the case, due to plugins being
dynamically loaded). As such, another fallback could be to use the
well-known name of the element's factory (in case of our example, this
is of course `"rtpbin"`).
Since we started depending on GLib 2.44, we can be sure this macro is
defined (it will be a no-op on compilers that don't support it). For
plugins we should just start using `G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE` which means
we no longer need the macro there, but for most types in core we don't
want to break ABI, which means it's better to just keep it like it is
(and use the `#ifdef` instead).
We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
This flag is to indicate to child elements that they can add and
remove pads at any point in time without re-adding existing ones.
Elements should post before-hand a GST_MESSAGE_STREAM_COLLECTION

This means applications and bin sub-classes can easily track when
a new child element is added to the pipeline sub-hierarchy or
removed.
Currently doesn't signal deep added/removed for elements inside
a bin if a bin is added/removed.

This calls a function from another thread, asynchronously. This is to be
used for cases when a state change has to be performed from a streaming
thread, directly via gst_element_set_state() or indirectly e.g. via SEEK
events.
Calling those functions directly from the streaming thread will cause
deadlocks in many situations, as they might involve waiting for the
streaming thread to shut down from this very streaming thread.
This is mostly a convenience function around a GThreadPool and is for example
used by GstBin to continue asynchronous state changes.

Add a GST_BIN_FLAG_NO_RESYNC that disables a resync when an element is added,
removed or linked in the bin. This is interesting for complex bins that
dynamically add elements to themselves and want to manage the state of those
elements without interference from resyncs.

Immediatly commit the toplevel bin state when receiving an async-done
message. This enables us to avoid spawning a thread to commit the state
in some common cases and it also avoids some races.
Avoid spawning a state thread when adding/removing async elements to a
toplevel bin. Instead we immediatly update the bin state.
Get rid of iterating all the children when getting the state in the bin
because it is now always up-to-date.
Fix bug where locked elements would always return _SUCCESS even it they
returned NO_PREROLL before being locked.
Fix the order of the state_change, async-start/done messages that was
sometimes incorrect.
Mark the state_dirty field as deprecated, we don't need it anymore as we
are always up-to-date.
* gst/gstelement.c: (gst_element_get_state_func),

Small debug inprovements.
