In JNI_OnLoad() we will already get the Java VM passed and could
just directly use that. gstreamer_android-1.0.c will now provide
this to us.
Reason for this is that apparently not all Android system are
providing the JNI functions to get the currently running Java VMs, so
we would fail to get. With this we will always be able to get the Java
VM on such systems.
We only need that if no Java VM is running yet, and all usual cases,
i.e. when calling GStreamer from an actual Android app, there will already
be a Java VM we can just use.
It seems like some phones come without that symbol, let's hope they come
with the other symbol but for now don't make a missing JNI_CreateJavaVM fatal.
This allows us to signal what kind of audio we are expecting to record,
which should tell the system to apply filters (such as echo
cancellation, noise suppression, etc.) if required.
Even when we fail to encode frame, we should still enqueue it so
it could be passed into handle_frame (with output_buffer == NULL).
Otherwise, we risk GstVideoEncoder's queue of frames growing unbounded.
Note: We're slightly changing the renegotiation code to accommodate for
frames without output buffers, but this commit takes no ownership over
the way negotiation is being done.

VTCompressionSessionEncodeFrame retains the CVPixelBuffer during
encoding, and will release it as soon as it can (e.g. before it even
calls our callback). This means we can safely release input buffer
at this point, possibly allowing the system to reuse it sooner.

Copying arbitrary metas is going to cause problems and this should really be
handled by the base class. It overrides most other things already anyway,
including timestamp and duration. Those are just set here now so we can
insert the frame sorted into the queue.

OMX.Exynos. codecs are existing on some devices like the
Galaxy S5 mini, and cause random crashes (of the device,
not the app!) and generally misbehave. That specific device
has other codecs that work with a different name, but let's
just give them marginal rank in case there are devices that
have no other codecs and these are actually the only working
ones
On some devices there are codecs that don't start with OMX., while
there are also some that do. And on some of these devices the ones
that don't start with OMX. just crash during initialization while
the others work. To make things even more complicated other devices
have codecs with the same name that work and no alternatives.
So just give a lower rank to these non-OMX codecs and hope that
there's an alternative with a higher rank.
Also stagefright gives codecs starting with OMX. a higher rank too and
considers other codecs that don't start with OMX. as software codecs.
This decoder does not work if width and height field are not set
in the sinkpad caps. Let's make this explicit by adding them to
the template caps.

It is incorrect to modify the frame properties after passing them, since
VTCompressionSessionEncodeFrame takes reference and we have no control
over when it's being used.
In fact, the code can be simplified. We just preallocate the frame
properties for keyframe requests, and pass NULL otherwise.

Unless stopRequest is set, we should unlock conditionally -- otherwise,
the 'create:' method can wake up to an empty buffer queue
and pull a nil buffer.

gst_ks_device_provider_probe() is a no-braier, just runs ks_enumerate_devices()
and reports the results.
Monitoring is a bit more tricky. We have to create a dummy message-processing
window and register device change notifications for it.
As kernel streaming can (and should) be used for audio capture and audio
playback, this change also has certain placeholders for such.

The autodetection mode was broken because a race condition in the input mode
setting. The mode could be reverted back when it was replaced in
the streaming thread by the old mode in the middle of mode changed callback.
