They can fail for various reasons.
For non-fatal cases (such as the dump feature of identiy and fakesink),
we just silently skip it.
For other cases post an error message.

The use-tags-bitrate property makes queue2 look at
tag events in the stream and extract a bitrate for the
stream to use when calculating a duration for buffers
that don't have one explicitly set.
This lets queue2 sensibly buffer to a time threshold
for any bytestream for which the general bitrate is known.
When preparing a buffering message, don't report 0% if there
is any bytes left in the queue at all. We still have something
to push, so don't tell the app to start buffering - maybe
we'll get more data before actually running dry.
The input of queue/queue2 might have DTS set, in which cas we want
to take that into account (instead of the PTS) to calculate position
and queue levels.

This caused problems with oggdemux when queue2 was
operating in queue mode and the souphttpsrc upstream
is not seekable because the server doesn't support
range requests. It would then still claim seekability
and then things go wrong from there.
This reverts commit 7b0b93dafe.

upstream_size can be negative but queue->upstream_size is unsigned type.
to get a chance to update queue->upstream_size in gst_queue2_get_range()
it should keep the default value.

Add QUERY_SEEKING handling to queue2, so RTMP live streams become
seekable when a queue2 in download or ringbuffer mode is inserted:
rtmpsrc ! queue2 ! flvdemux
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733351
It might still be waiting for a query to be handled, or the queue to become
empty again for the next item. Also if downstream returns FLUSHING, flush the
queue like we do in queue and multiqueue.
When comparing percentage values, compare with 0-100 scale as it
has already been made relative to 0-high_percent, otherwise we mark
the queue as not buffering and report a 50% to the user. This leads to
a buffering stall as the user assumes the queue is still buffering but
it thinks it isn't.

It might cause deadlocks to post messages while holding the queue2
lock. To avoid this a new boolean flag is set whenever a new
buffering percent is found. The message is posted after the lock
is released.
To make sure the buffering messages are posted in the right order, messages
are posted holding another lock. This prevents 2 threads trying to post
messages at the same time.

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
The qlock is released between popping a buffer from the queue
and pushing it. When this buffer causes the sink to wait in
preroll, this lets a query see that the queue is empty, and
push the query then wait for it to be serviced. However, this
will not be done till after peroll, and this will thus block.
If upstream was waiting on buffering to reach 100% before
switching to PLAYING, a deadlock would ensue.
This had been fixed recently by failing queries when the
queue2 was buffering, but this happens to break some other
case (playbin on a local http server and matroska), while
this patch works for both.

We fix it by refusing the query when buffering, as per Wim's
recommendation on IRC.
Make a method to get the seeking threshold. If data is further away from
this threshold we want to perform a seek upstream.
When the current downloaded range can merge with the next range,
actually include the data of the next range into the current range
instead of discarding it. Also decide if we seek to the write position
of the merged range or continue reading.
In some cases the wait for more data was happening without updating
the buffering state, meaning the API user would not be able to notice
it should pause the pipeline and update UI to indicate that is the
case, the video would likely stutter instead.

When a buffering query is handled it uses the get_buffering_percent()
function to get some statitics. Unfortunately this function also
calculates whether the queue should be buffering and adapts the
global queue2 state in case of state transitions from/to buffering
(including whether a buffering message was posted on the bus!).
This means that there is a race which can cause buffering messages
to never posted if the global state changes happen as a result of aa
query instead of resulting from bytes flowing in/out.
Spotted by Sjoerd Simons.
Change to only query state in get_buffering_percent() and update
state only in update_buffering().

When in download buffering mode queue2 didn't check if a range offset is
in a undownloaded range before the currently in-progress range. Causing
seeks to an earlier offset to, well, take a while.
When asked about the scheduling flags first check with upstream and
simply add the _SEEKABLE flag when using a temporary file as storage.
This enables the forwarding of _SEQUENTIAL and _BANDWIDTH_LIMITED from
sources if needed.

We must be certain that we don't cause a deadlock when blocking the serialized
queries. One such deadlock can happen when we are buffering and downstream is
blocked in preroll and a serialized query arrives. Downstream will not unblock
(and allow our query to execute) until we complete buffering and buffering will
not complete until we can answer the query..
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702840
Fixes some deadlocks during flushing.
And store queue items differently to not accidentially read
already unreffed queries when flushing. Queries are owned by
upstream and not us.
