The check itself is racy.
(CK_FORK=no GST_CHECK=test_output_order make elements/multiqueue.forever).
The problem is indeed the test and not the actual element behaviour.
The objects to push are being pulled out of the single internal queues in the
right order and at the right time...
But between:
* the moment the global multiqueue lock is released (which was used to detect
if we should pop and push downstream the next buffer)
* and the moment it is received by the source pad (which does the check)
=> another single queue (like the unlinked pad) might pop and push a buffer
downstream
What should we do ? Putting a bigger margin of error (say 5 buffers) doesn't
help, it'll eventually fail.
I can't see how we can detect this reliably.

Implement the same behaviour as gst_pad_push_event when pushing sticky events
fails, that is don't fail immediately but fail when data flow resumes and upstream
can aggregate properly.
This fixes segment seeks with decodebin and unlinked audio or video branches.

Make it so that one can specify a buffer for get/pull_range where the downstream
element should write into. When passing NULL, upstream should allocate a buffer,
like in 0.10.
We also need to change the probes a little because before the pull probe, there
could already be a buffer passed. This then allows us to use the same PROBE
macro for before and after pulling.
While we're at the probes, make the query probe more powerful by handling the
GST_PAD_PROBE_DROP return value. Returning _DROP from a query probe will now
return TRUE upstream and will not forward the probe to the peer or handler.
Also handle _DROP for get/pull_range properly by not dispatching to the
peer/handler or by generating EOS when the probe returns DROP and no buffer.
Make filesrc handle the non-NULL buffer passed in the get_range function and
skip the allocation in that case, writing directly into the downstream provided
buffer.
Update tests because now we need to make sure to not pass a random value in the
buffer pointer to get/pull_range

Note: did not merge any of the basetransform changes from 0.10.
Calling set_caps at that point is not useful in 0.10 (FIXME comment!), and in
0.11 it is totally pointless: the caps event doesn't stick to a flushing pad.
Add the pad mode to the activate function so that we can reuse the same function
for all activation modes. This makes the core logic smaller and allows for some
elements to make their activation code easier. It would allow us to add more
scheduling modes later without having to add more activate functions.
Remove the getcaps function on the pad and use the CAPS query for
the same effect.
Add PROXY_CAPS to the pad flags. This instructs the default caps event and query
handlers to pass on the CAPS related queries and events. This simplifies a lot
of elements that passtrough caps negotiation.
Make two utility functions to proxy caps queries and aggregate the result. Needs
to use the pad forward function instead later.
Make the _query_peer_ utility functions use the gst_pad_peer_query() function to
make sure the probes are emited properly.
Make a new GstPadProbeInfo structure and pass this in the probe callback. This
allows us to add more things later and also allow the callback to replace or
modify the passed object.
Make a separate cookie to detect chancges in the list of probes and keeping
track of what hooks have been invoked yet.
Remove the requirement to have probes on srcpads in push mode and sinkpads in
pull mode.
Add some more debug.
Keep track of what callbacks got executed. If no callback is called and we are a
blocking pad, let the item pass. This allows you to block pads on selected
items only.
Explicitly have an UPSTREAM and DOWNSTREAM PadProbeType. This allows you to only
block the pad on upstream or downstream items.
Add convenience macros to only block on downstream/upstream items.
Better now than later in the cycle. These might come in handy:
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeReturn/GstPadProbeReturn/g' `git grep GstProbeReturn | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GST_PROBE_/GST_PAD_PROBE_/g' `git grep GST_PROBE_ | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeType/GstPadProbeType/g' `git grep GstProbeType | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
Add a boolean to the flush_stop event to make it possible to implement flushes
that don't reset_time.
Make basesink post async_done with the reset_time property from the flush stop
event.
Fix some unit tests
Keep track of installed number of probes to shortcut emission.
Allow NULL callbacks, this is useful for blocking probes.
Improve probe selection based on the mask, an empty mask for the data or the
scheduling flags equals that all probes match.
Add some more debug info.
Don't check the flushing flag in the probe callback handler, this needs to be
done before calling the handler.
Fix blocking probes.
Fix unit tests
Make pad block call the callback as soon as the pad is not in use. This makes it
possible to make sure that when the callback is called, no activity is happening
on the pad and that no activity will ever happen until the pad is unblocked
again. This makes pad blocking work when there is no dataflow or after EOS and
greatly helps dynamic pipelines.
Move the probe handling right where we wait on the pad block. The two are
related but not the same and the probe can eventually influence the pad
blocking as we'll se later.
Fix up some broken unit tests or tests that fail with the new behaviour.
This reverts commit cf4fbc005c.
This change did not improve the situation for bindings because
queries are usually created, then directly passed to a function
and not stored elsewhere, and the writability problem with
miniobjects usually happens with buffers or caps instead.
Improve GstSegment, rename some fields. The idea is to have the GstSegment
structure represent the timing structure of the buffers as they are generated by
the source or demuxer element.
gst_segment_set_seek() -> gst_segment_do_seek()
Rename the NEWSEGMENT event to SEGMENT.
Make parsing of the SEGMENT event into a GstSegment structure.
Pass a GstSegment structure when making a new SEGMENT event. This allows us to
pass the timing info directly to the next element. No accumulation is needed in
the receiving element, all the info is inside the element.
Remove gst_segment_set_newsegment(): This function as used to accumulate
segments received from upstream, which is now not needed anymore because the
segment event contains the complete timing information.
This reverts commit 9ef1346b1f.
Way to much for one commit and I'm not sure we want to get rid of the pad caps
just like that. It's nice to have the buffer and its type in onw nice bundle
without having to drag the complete context with it.
Remove pad_alloc and all references. This can now be done more efficiently and
more flexible with the ALLOCATION query and the bufferpool objects. There is no
reverse negotiation yet but that will be done with an event later.
Passing e.g. location=foo would lead to warnings because g_filename_to_uri()
wants an absolute file path and returns NULL otherwise. Use brand-new
gst_filename_to_uri() instead, which will try harder to create a proper
URI for us.
Also add unit test.
