Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstbin.c: (gst_bin_class_init), (gst_bin_set_manager),
(gst_bin_send_event):
Add default event/set_manager handlers. The set_manager handler
takes care that the manager is distributed over kids that were
already in the bin before the manager was set. The event handler
is a utility virtual function that sends the event over all sinks,
so that gst_element_send_event (bin, event); has the expected
behaviour.
* gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_event_default):
Re-install default event handling for discontinuities, so that
seeking works without requiring hacks in applications or extra
code in sinks.
* gst/gstpipeline.c: (gst_pipeline_class_init),
(gst_pipeline_send_event):
Half hack, half utility: set a pipeline to PAUSED for seek events,
since that is the only way we can guarantee a/v sync. Means that
you can do gst_element_seek (pipeline, method, pos); on a pipeline
and it "just works".

Original commit message from CVS:
GST_DEBUG reorganization
This is a big diff (ca 450k), containing loads of stuff:
- gstinfo.[ch] complete rewrite
- changing of all GST_DEBUG messages to reflect that change
- reorganization of subsystem disabling
- addition of gstconfig.h.in so we can track the disablings
- <gst/gst.h> does not include <unistd.h> and <config.h> anymore
- documentation updated for gstinfo stuff (build the docs yourself to know what changed)
- bugfixes for making of the docs (files from CVS are not deleted anymore
- testsuite for debugging changes in testsuite/debug

Original commit message from CVS:
- added playondemand plugin by Leif Morgan Johnson <lmjohns3@eos.ncsu.edu>
- some fixes to int2float
- aplied a patch from wrobell <wrobell@ite.pl> that is a first attempt at
making automake 1.5 happy (gst now requires automake1.5). It's still not
perfect but it builds.
- Made the schedulers plugable. The default scheduler now lives inside a
plugin.
- Added a new mpeg1/2 parser/demuxer.
- Fixed some compiler warnings in the core libs.
- substantial work to GstThread (hopefully less race conditions). simplified
the code in GstThread a bit. A state change can now also happen in the
thread context.
- reworked the state semantics of a bin. it'll now automatically get the
highest state of its children.
- the autoplugger now nests the threads so that a state change failure of
one thread doesn't make its upstream thread lock.
- GstQueue refuses to go to PLAYING if the sinkpad is not connected. This
way the queue will not wedge in the _get lock.
- GstQueue unlocks its mutexes when going to PAUSED.
- make sure that when all elements in a bin/thread go to PAUSED, the bin
is set to PAUSED too.
- make a parent bin wait for its children to PAUSE before ending the
iteration with FALSE (EOS)
- Some changes to GstPlay to deal with EOS.
- aplied the latest patch from Zeenix to gstrtp.

end result: GstPlay doesn't crash on EOS and the pipeline is now shut down
properly.

51cbf22624 This is a megapatch with the following changes:
Original commit message from CVS:
This is a megapatch with the following changes:

- moved the gchar *name to GstObject, removed the ones in GstElement and
GstPad.
- moved the parent handling completely into GstObject. This cause *all* of
the plugins to fail (except those that used gst_pad_get_parent)
- rearanged the XML save handling.
- GstObject now has a class function save/restore_thyself.
- GstObject has a generic method gst_object_save_thyself, this makes it
possible to fire a signal wehever a new object is loaded. This is needed
so we can add XML save hooks.
- GstXML API has changed slightly. You now have to create a GstXML object
first before you can actually load something. This makes it possible to
attach a signal to GstXML whenever an object is loaded. I'm not sure we
will keep this interface.
- GstObject can now print the path_string without knowing about the GstPad and
GstElement types.
- Added gst_bin_get_by_name_recurse_up to lookup an element in the current
element hierarchy.
- added XML namespaces to the saved pipelines the namespace is:
http://gstreamer.net/gst-core/1.0/
namespaces are needed to distinguish user generated XML from the core XML.

Note that the plugins still contain a macro GST_OBJECT_PARENT that will be
replaced with gst_pad_get_parent shortly.

Mostly minor little changes, but two interesting things:

1) removed a pthread_join from the gst_thread_main_loop.  commented out
because the thread isn't supposed to run pthread_join, the main process is.

2) Fixed a major bug with cothreads in threads.  Had to add MAP_FIXED to
the mmap() of the cothread stack.  Presumably the gilbc that ships with
redhat 7.0 now places these mmap requests somewhat randomly.  Since they
*must* be exactly where we expect them, it was failing.  MAP_FIXED forces
it to put it where we say.

Original commit message from CVS:
Cleanup in gsttypes.c:
removed the crazy GList of GHashTables, since the autoplugger will
use the GstCaps and elementfactories instead of the type system.
We don't maintain a list anymore of the elements for the specific
removed unused code in XML loading/saving.

Cleanup in gstelementfactory:
removed the register/unregister methods, register is now implicit when
gst_elementfactory_new is called. _unregister is now _destroy.
Removed logic to register/unregister the types in gsttypes.
added methods to query if the factory can src/sink a GstCaps
Make sure the elementfactory is set in the element_class when a new
element is registered with gst_elementfactory_new.

gst.c: properly register the basic bins
gst_pipeline: use new gstautoplug (next checkin)
gstprops: fixed an error in compatibility check
registry test program changes
plugins: misc changes for the new caps system.

Original commit message from CVS:
The typefind function now returns a GstCaps structure instead of a gboolean.
modified some plugins to this new behaviour
Fixed autoplugging for the mpg123 case. When an element is selected in
autoplugging and the caps do not match, another element is selected until the
caps match. only examples/autoplug works because gstmediaplay uses a threaded
setup that does not seem to work with the current scheduling.

gst/
gstbuffer.h: updated to new flag style
gst.c, gstdebug.h: added new debugging for function ptrs
gstpipeline.c: set type of parent_class to the class, not the object
gstthread.c: ditto
plugins/
cdparanoia/cdparanoia.c: added an argument type, updated some defaults
cobin/spindentity.c: updated to new do/while loopfunction style
mp3encode/lame/gstlame.c: argument types, whole lotta lame options
tests/: various changes

Now, for the big changes:  Once again, the scheduling system has changed.
And once again, it broke a whole bunch of things.  The gist of the change
is that there is now a function pointer for gst_pad_push and gst_pad_pull,
instead of a hard-wired function.  Well, currently they are functions, but
that's for debugging purposes only, they just call the function pointer
after spewing lots of DEBUG().

This changed the GstPad structure a bit, and the GstPad API as well.
Where elements used to provide chain() and pull() functions, they provide
chain() and get() functions. gst_pad_set_pull[region]_function has been
changed to get_pad_set_get[region]_function.  This means all the elements
out there that used to have pull functions need to be updated.  The calls
to that function have been changed in the normal elements, but the names
of the functions passed is still _pull[region](), which is an aesthetic
issue more than anything.

As for what doesn't work yet, just about anything dealing with Connections
is hosed, meaning threaded stuff won't work.  This will be fixed about 12
hours from now, after I've slept, etc.  The simplefake.c test works in
both cothreaded and chained cases, but not much else will work due to the
Connection problem.  Needless to say, don't grab this unless you *need*
these features *now*, else wait to update this stuff until tomorrow.

I'm going to sleep now.

Original commit message from CVS:
Changed the way things are scheduled, especially sources.  A Src used to
have a push() function, and optionally a pushregion() to deal with async
reads, etc.  That whole thing has gone away, in favor of providing a
pull() function for the output (Src) pad instead, ala chain functions.
This makes constructing cothreaded schedules out of non-loop elements
somewhat easier.  Basically there was always a question as to which pad
was being dealt with.  In the pullregion case, cothread-specific data was
used to try to pass the region struct to the right place, which is a slow
hack.  And in general, the push function severely limited the kind of
tricks that could be played when there's more than one output pad, such as
a multi-out file reader with async capabilities on each pad independently.

This changes the way cothread scheduling occurs.  Instead of the hack to
deal with Src's by calling their push() function (or optionally the
pushregion(), in certain cases), we now are working towards a general
mechanism where pads are the only thing that are dealt with directly.

An optimization was made in the process of doing this: the loopfunction
actually run as the outer [stack] frame of the cothread is now set more
intelligently in create_plan() based on what kind of element it is.  We
now have:

loopfunc_wrapper: used for loop-based elements, it simply calls the
loopfunc in a loop, paying attention to COTHREAD_STOPPING (see
below).  It currently does other, soon to be depracated, stuff.

pullsrc_wrapper: wraps a Src that's not loop-based (since your options
are now loop- or pull-based)

There will be a couple more to deal with other cases, such as Connections
and chain-based elements.  The general idea is that it's a lot more
efficient to make the decisions once in create_plan than to keep doing
this huge if/else chain in the wrapper.  Just choose the right wrapper up
front.  It'll be most apparent performance-wise in the case of whichever
element context is switched to first for each iteration, since the whole
wrapper setup is done for every iteration.

The tricky part is that there is now a bit of overloading of the function
pointers in a pad.  The current meanings (possibly to change a bit more
soon) are:

chainfunc: as always, chainfunc pointer is mirrored between peer pads
(this may change, and the chain func may end up in pushfunc)
pushfunc: SrcPad: gst_pad_pushfunc_proxy, cothread_switch to peer
SinkPad: none (may take over chainfunc, see below) pullfunc:
SrcPad: Src or Connection's function to construct buffers
SinkPad: gst_pad_pullfunc_proxy, cothread_switch to peer

There are a number of issues remaining with the scheduling, not the least
of which is the fact that Connections are still dealt with the old way,
with _push() functions and such.  I'm trying to figure out a way to unify
the system so it makes sense.  Following the scheduling system is hard
enough, trying to change it is murder.


Another useful scheduling addition, mentioned above, is COTHREAD_STOPPING.
It's an element flag that's used to signal whatever code is running in
cothread context that it should be finishing up and exiting soon.  An
example of this is in plugins/cobin/spindentity.c.  All the loops should
now be composed of do/while loops, rather than while(1) loops:

do {
buf = gst_pad_pull(spindentity->sinkpad);
gst_pad_push(spindentity->srcpad,buf);
} while (!GST_ELEMENT_IS_COTHREAD_STOPPING(element));

The reason for this is that COTHREAD_STOPPING may be set before the above
loop ever gets started.  It wouldn't do for the body of the loop to never
once get called, that would simply stall the pipeline. Note that only the
core library code is ever responsible for setting and unsetting this flag.
All elements have to do is respond to it by cleanly exiting the loop and
the function holding it.

This is needed primarily to allow iterations to occur properly.
Basically, there's a single entry point in the cothread scheduling loop,
gst_bin_iterate_func() simply switches to this cothread.  If the element
in this context is allowed to loop infinitely, nothing would even switch
back to the context from which the iterate() was originally called.  This
is a bit of a problem.  The solution is for there to be an implicit switch
back to the originating context.  Now, even I'm not sure exactly how this
works, but if the cothread that's switched to actually returns, execution
returns back to the calling context, i.e. iterate_func().

COTHREAD_STOPPING is therefore set just before switching into this
(currently randomly chosen) context, on the assumption that it will return
promptly after finishing its duties.  The burden of clearing the flag
falls to the various wrapper functions provided by the Bin code, thus
element writers don't have to worry about doing that at all (and simply
shouldn't).


Related changes:
All the sources in elements/ have been changed to reflect the new system.


FIXMEs:
1) gstpipeline.c calls gst_src_push at some point, dunno why, it's
commented out now.
2) any other sources, including vcdsrc, dvdsrc, and v4lsrc will break
badly and need to be modified to work as pull-based sources.

you *have* to change the line in libtool to

static libvorbis.a library. This is a hack. I have no intention in
including libvorbis into the gstreamer CVS tree and making it
