Instead of passing it structure by structure. This allows
better optimized transform_caps functions and allows better
transformation decisions.
See bug #619844.
Don't error out when the allocation query returns success.
Do bufferpool query after we pushed the caps event downstream so that we can get
a good bufferpool suggestion.
Also proxy the bufferpool query downstream when we operate in in_place mode.
Avoid installing a setcaps function on the srcpad and calling the setcaps
function, we can do more efficiently with sending the event ourself and calling
our vmethod.
While some formats allow subclass to determine a specific subsequent
needed frame size, others may to need to scan for markers and can only
request 'additional data' by whatever reasonable available step.
In push mode, trying to minimize additional latency leads to step size
being the next input buffer. In pull mode, any reasonable step size
(such as already used by buffer caching) can be applied.
This reverts commit cf4fbc005c.
This change did not improve the situation for bindings because
queries are usually created, then directly passed to a function
and not stored elsewhere, and the writability problem with
miniobjects usually happens with buffers or caps instead.
Improve GstSegment, rename some fields. The idea is to have the GstSegment
structure represent the timing structure of the buffers as they are generated by
the source or demuxer element.
gst_segment_set_seek() -> gst_segment_do_seek()
Rename the NEWSEGMENT event to SEGMENT.
Make parsing of the SEGMENT event into a GstSegment structure.
Pass a GstSegment structure when making a new SEGMENT event. This allows us to
pass the timing info directly to the next element. No accumulation is needed in
the receiving element, all the info is inside the element.
Remove gst_segment_set_newsegment(): This function as used to accumulate
segments received from upstream, which is now not needed anymore because the
segment event contains the complete timing information.
Doing so avoids a large timestamp gap between first and second buffer
for live sources which take time to start up.
The first buffer now has a "live" timestamp based on the running time,
as other buffers do.

Hide the GstStructure of the event in the implementation specific part so that
we can change it.
Add methods to check and make the event writable.
Add a new method to get a writable GstStructure of the element.
Avoid directly accising the event structure.
Use the caps event to configure basetransform.
Remove force_alloc hack, we don't need this in 0.11 with new upstream
negotiation.
Avoid getting some pad caps.
