when creating a profile from a discoverer info.
There is no justification for the existing code, and talking with
Thibault he cannot remember why the sort was in place.
On the other hand, this allows GES users to not have to implement
a callback for the select-tracks-for-object callback when using
it to trim a single clip, which the output profile was built from:
track elements will be placed in the appropriate track by default,
that is the one that will be connected to the matching profile.
For multi-clip timelines, the situation doesn't change, users will
still have to implement a callback and do the leg work of placing
track elements (if any) in a matching track (if any).

chroma-format, bit-depth-chroma, bit-depth-luma are all informative
fields set by the H265 and H265 parser upon receiving an SPS.
They shouldn't be constrained downstream of the parser, instead
if a user wants those to ultimately match certain values they
should do so by constraining a profile.
In this case however, we also always remove the profile constraint
in order to let encoders pick a suitable one as a function of the
raw input video format and their own capabilities.

With the 2.72 release, glib-networking developers have decided that
TLS certificate validation cannot be implemented correctly by them, so
they've deprecated it.
In a nutshell: a cert can have several validation errors, but there
are no guarantees that the TLS backend will return all those errors,
and things are made even more complicated by the fact that the list of
errors might refer to certs that are added for backwards-compat and
won't actually be used by the TLS library.
Our best option is to ignore the deprecation and pass the warning onto
users so they can make an appropriate security decision regarding
this.
We can't deprecate the tls-validation-flags property because it is
very useful when connecting to RTSP cameras that will never get
updates to fix certificate errors.

It is entirely possible for the cancellable to be cancelled (and freed)
in gst_rtsp_connection_flush() while there may be an ongoing read/write
operation.
Nothing prevents gst_rtsp_connection_flush() from waiting for the
outstanding read/writes.
This could lead to a crash like (where cancellable has been freed
within gst_rtsp_connection_flush()):

Fix by adding a cancellable lock and returning an extra reference used

Some encoders (e.g. Makito) have H265 field-based interlacing, but then
also specify an 1:2 pixel aspect ratio. That makes it kind-of work with
decoders that don't properly support field-based decoding, but makes us
end up with the wrong aspect ratio if we implement everything properly.
As a workaround, detect 1:2 pixel aspect ratio for field-based
interlacing, and check if making that 1:1 would make the new display
aspect ratio common. In that case, we override it with 1:1.

zlib is required, and if it isn't found it is checked several ways and
then forced via subproject(). This code was added in commit
b93e37592a, to account for systems where
zlib doesn't have pkg-config files installed.
But Meson already does dependency fallback, and also, since 0.54.0, does
the in-between checks for find_library('z') and has_header('zlib.h') via
the "system" type dependency. Simplify dependency lookup by marking it
as required, which also makes sure that the console log doesn't
confusingly list "not found".

Background:
Whenever a caps event is received by appsink, the caps are stored in the
same internal queue as buffers. Only when enough buffers have been
popped from the queue to reach the caps, `priv->sample` gets its caps
updated to match, so that they are correct for the following buffers.
Note that as far as upstream elements are concerned, the caps of appsink
are updated immediately when the CAPS event is sent. Samples pulled from
appsink retain the old caps until a later buffer -- one that was sent by
upstream elements after the new caps -- is pulled.
The race condition:
When a flush is received, appsink clears the entire internal queue. The
caps of `priv->sample` are not updated as part of this process, and
instead remain as those of the sample that was last pulled by the user.
This leaves open a race condition where:
1. Upstream sends a new caps event, and possibly some buffers for the
new caps.
2. Upstream sends a flush (possibly from a different thread).
3. Upstream sends a new buffer for the new caps. Since as far as
upstream is concerned, appsink caps are the new caps already, no new
CAPS event is sent.
4. The appsink user pulls a sample, having not pulled before enough
samples to reach the buffers sent in step 1.
Bug: the pulled sample has the old caps instead of the new caps.
Fixing the race condition:
To avoid this problem, when a buffer is received after a flush,
`priv->sample`'s caps should be updated with the current caps before the
buffer is added to the internal queue.
Interestingly, before this patch, appsink already had code for this, in
gst_app_sink_render_common():
/* queue holding caps event might have been FLUSHed,
* but caps state still present in pad caps */
if (G_UNLIKELY (!priv->last_caps &&
gst_pad_has_current_caps (GST_BASE_SINK_PAD (psink)))) {
priv->last_caps = gst_pad_get_current_caps (GST_BASE_SINK_PAD (psink));
gst_sample_set_caps (priv->sample, priv->last_caps);
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (appsink, "activating pad caps %" GST_PTR_FORMAT,
priv->last_caps);
}
This code assumes `priv->last_caps` is reset when a flush is received,
which makes sense, but unfortunately, there was no code in the flush
code path resetting it.
This patch adds such code, therefore fixing the race condition. A unit
test demonstrating the bug and testing its behavior with the fix has
also been added.

The decision to store the input buffer depends on whether extensions
are to be added to the output buffer, I assume as an optimization.
This creates an issue for subclasses that call negotiate(), where
header_exts is actually populated, from their handle_buffer()
implementation: at chain time, no header extension has been negotiated
yet, which means that we don't add extensions to the first batch of
buffers that comes out.
Keep track of whether negotiate has been called (this is different
from the negotiated field) and always store the input buffer until
then. This fixes the issue while largely preserving the optimization.

There's a race condition in gsttagdemux.c between typefinding and the
end-of-stream event. If TYPE_FIND_MAX_SIZE is exceeded,
demux->priv->collect is set to NULL and an error is returned. However,
the end-of-stream event causes one last attempt at typefinding to occur.
This leads to gst_tag_demux_trim_buffer() being called with the NULL
demux->priv->collect buffer which it attempts to dereference, resulting

Sometimes we can't output anything because we don't have enough
incoming frames. In that case, the resampler was trying to call
do_quantize() and do_resample() in a loop forever because there would
never be samples to output (so chain->samples would always be NULL).
Fix this by not calling chain->make_func() in a loop -- seems
completely unnecessary since calling it over and over won't change
anything if the make_func() can't output samples.
Also add some checks for the input and / or output being NULL when
doing conversion or quantization. This will happen when we have
nothing to output.
We can't bail early, because we need resampler->samples_avail to be
updated in gst_audio_resampler_resample(), so we must call that and
no-op everything along the way.
