By default, gst_parse_launch_full() creates a GstPipeline if there's more
than one toplevel element. Add a flag to let it use a GstBin instead.
Also fix the parser to let it use this flag for GST_TYPE_ELEMENT property
values, to avoid having GstPipelines inside other GstPipelines.

The parse-launch API automagically handles dynamic pads and performs delayed
linking as needed, without any feedback about whether the linking succeeded or
not however. If a delayed dynamic link can't be completed for whatever reason,
parse-launch will simply wait in case a suitable pad appears later. This may
never happen though, in which case the pipeline may just hang forever.
Try to improve this by connecting to the "no-more-pads" signal of any element
with dynamic pads and posting a warning message for the related outstanding
dynamic links when "no-more-pads" is emitted.
Fixes#760003
This makes gst_parse_bin_from_description() return an element instead of
a bin if there's only one element. Also changed gstparse.c to use this,
so gst-launch won't create superfluous bins.

Original commit message from CVS:
Based on patch by: Peter Kjellerstedt <pkj at axis com>
* gst/Makefile.am:
* gst/gstparse.c: (gst_parse_launchv), (gst_parse_launch):
* gst/gstparse.h:
* gst/gstutils.c: (gst_parse_bin_from_description):
* gst/gstutils.h:
Maintain API and ABI when --disable-parse is used. Now that
we have an appropriate error code, we can just return NULL and the
appropriate error when gst_parse_launch() is used despite it having
been disabled (#342564).
* tests/check/Makefile.am:
* tests/check/pipelines/.cvsignore:
* tests/check/pipelines/parse-disabled.c:
Make sure these functions exist and return NULL plus a GError when
--disable-parse is used.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/Makefile.am:
* gst/gstparse.h:
* gst/gstutils.c:
* gst/gstutils.h:
Make things work with --disable-parse as they do with
--disable-load-save - the symbols involved disappear, but the
header is still installed and GST_DISABLE_PARSE is included via
gstconfig.h
Original commit message from CVS:
Removed plugable schedulers.
Removed Scheduler/Manager from elements.
Removed gsttypes.h, rearranged includes.
Removed dependency pad<->element, element<>pipeline, and
various others, fix includes.
implement gst_pad_get_parent() with gst_object_get_parent()
Make GstTask sefcontained.
Fix _get_state() on GstBin, it did not return ASYNC with a 0
timeout.
Fix endless loop in iterator_fold_with_resync.
Original commit message from CVS:
put symbols in the sections.txt into the right sections (so that we dont get wrong undocumented symbols)
added TITLE tags where they were missing
fixed section names so that gtk-doc introspection works
fixed typos in api docs and docbook docs
added some thoughts about new interfaces (to personal notes)
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstinfo.h: wrap #pragmas in #ifdefs for the correct compiler
* gst/gstobject.h:

Original commit message from CVS:
enable debugging output for bison parser, fix // comments, better error recovery, error out on non-instantiable elements (fixes#110758)
Original commit message from CVS:
rewritten pipeline parsing lands. Have fun breaking it.
regressions:
- No support for filtered links. If anybody needs this, please contact me and I'll add it as fast as possible.
improvements:
- The pipeline building actually works as expected.
- syntax compatible nearly everywhere but more flexible
- better property parsing (you can now set enums by name or nick)
- uses locked_state to allow for delayed pads
- can connect video pipelines without the need for queues
- allows properties on bins
- does not return a bin, but an element.
You may want to read docs/random/company/gstparse to learn how it works.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Cleanups
- Added padding to structs
- fixed typechecking/casts
- reduced casts
- implemented remove_element in gstbin
- implemented set index on bin
Original commit message from CVS:
- Removed unused locking from the cothreads
- use G_*_DECLS in .h files
- remove gstlog.h include from gstobject.h, add to .c files
- removed unused refcounting code from gstobject
- small fixes in #includes
- Added Scheduling policy and priority properties to gstthread so that
SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR threads can be constructed.
Original commit message from CVS:
* new parser that uses flex and bison
- doesn't do dynamic pipelines yet...
* added GErrors to the gst_parse_launch[v] api
* added --gst-mask-help command line option
* fixed -o option for gst-launch
* GstElement api change:
- gst_element_get_pad
- gst_element_get_request_pad, gst_element_get_static_pad
- gst_element_get_compatible_pad
- gst_element_get_compatible_static_pad, gst_element_get_compatible_request_pad
- gst_element_[dis]connect -> gst_element_[dis]connect_pads
- gst_element_[dis]connect_elements -> gst_element_[dis]connect
* manual update
* example, tool, and doc updates for the api changes
- no more plugin docs in the core docs, plugins require a more
extensive doc system
Original commit message from CVS:
* cleaning up duplicated code in gstbin.c
* added some sanity checks in gstpad.c
* added checks for failed connections in gstparse.c
* better docs in gstxml.c
Original commit message from CVS:
* fix doc build for glib2
* remove template files from cvs, they are generated with gtkdoc-mktmpl
* new, cleaner interface to the parser facilities
* cleanups in gstparse.c
Original commit message from CVS:
Changed a stupid assert in request_pad.
Some fixes for pullregion and EOS conditions.
Remove an unneeded check in the scheduler (check for NULL buffer)
some EOS fixes for pullregion in disksrc.
Removed the macro in the gstparse.h header 'cause it's internal to gstparse.c
Added a check in gstparse for NULL element.
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.
