In the following backtrace for the deadlock, we can see that:
- In T8 `uridecodebin3` is exposing a new pad, in `pad_added_cb`,
`playbin3` is trying to get `GST_PLAY_BIN3_LOCK` in the callback. This
threads holds its `SELECTION_LOCK` in F17 `reconfigure_output_stream`,
which is looks right `decodebin3` is handling its selection state
in that code path
- In T7 `playbin3` holds the `GST_PLAY_BIN3_LOCK` when calling
`gst_element_post_message` in `gst_play_bin3_send_event` which is
not necessary in that section of the code.

This allows user to be in control of when scaling happens in the pipeline.
It can be plugged as an effect and scaling will be forced to happen in
the effect instead of in the compositor.
Without this, it would not be possible for users to, for example,
crop a video source before scaling to the target source size.

The interaudiosrc might take buffers of different sizes from the audio adapter,
so keeping metas consistency would be an issue. So the sink now strips the audio
metas away and the src adds them back (for non-interleaved layouts only) when
taking buffers from the adapter.

Fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/issues/2771
This EOS branch exists so that if a seek with a stop is made, qtdemux
stops accepting bytes from the sink after the entire requested playback
range is demuxed, as otherwise we could keep download content that is
not being used.
This patch fixes two flaws that were present in that EOS check:
1) A comparison was made between track time and movie time without conversion.
This made the check trigger early in files with edit lists. This patch fixes
this by converting the track PTS to movie PTS (stream time) for the check.
2) To avoid sending a EOS prematurely when the segment stop is within a GOP and
B-frames are present, the check for EOS should only be done for keyframes. I
gather this was already the intention with the existing code, but because it
used `stream->on_keyframe` instead of the local variable `keyframe` the old
code was checking if the *previous* frame was a keyframe.
It's interesting to note that these two flaws in the old code mask each other
in most cases: the track PTS will have reached the movie end PTS, but EOS would
only be sent if the previous frame was a keyframe. A simple case where they
wouldn't mask each other, reproducing the bug, is a sequence of 3 frame GOPs
with structure I-B-P.
The following validateflow tests have been added to future-proof the
fix:
* validate.test.mp4.qtdemux_ibpibp_non_frag_pull.default
* validate.test.mp4.qtdemux_ibpibp_non_frag_push.default

Refusing an incoming segment in < GST_MATROSKA_READ_STATE_DATA should only be
done if the incoming segment is not in GST_FORMAT_TIME.
In GST_FORMAT_TIME, we are just storing the values and returning, so we can
invert the order of the checks.

The framerate should only be replaced (and corrected for alternating field)
when it is parsed from the bitstream. Otherwise, the upstream framerate
from caps should be trusted and assumed correct.

When using qtdemux in a pipeline that should only work as a pure demuxer (not
for actual playback), qtdemux shouldn't emit new GstSegments to correct
the start time (jump to the future) to ensure that the user experiences no
playback delay. By doing so, it's generating the wrong segments when an append
of data from the past happens. When that happens, downstream elements such as
parsers (eg: aacparse) may clip those buffers laying before the GstSegment and
create problems on the GStreamer client app (eg: WebKit).
Getting buffers clipped out because of the wrong GstSegments started becoming
a problen when this commit was introduced:
ab6e49e9cc audioparsers: add back segment clipping to parsers that have lost it
This clipping makes test DASH shaka 35 from MVT tests[1] to fail in
WebKitGTK/WPE (at least) and can potentially cause a number of other problems
in the WebKit Media Source Extensions (MSE) code.
Note that this new behaviour of not emitting new GstSegments only makes sense
when qtdemux is being used as a pure demuxer and not as part of a regular
pipeline. This is why the variant field has been added. When equal to
VARIANT_MSE_BYTESTREAM, it will make qtdemux behave differently in push mode,
taking decisions that meet the expectations for an MSE-like processing mode.
This kind of tweaks have been done in the past for MSS streams, for instance.
That code has been refactored to use VARIANT_MSS_FRAGMENTED now, instead of
its own dedicated boolean flag.
