Position queries with GST_FORMAT_TIME are supposed to return stream
time.
gst_base_sink_get_position() estimates the current stream time on its
own instead of using gst_segment_to_stream_time(), but the algorithm
used was not taking segment.offset into account, resulting in invalid
values when this field was set to a non-zero value.

As we do that for serialized events as well, and the subclass will
most likely need to access pad->segment to make its decisions,
doing that from the sinkpad's streaming threads was racy.
Sub-class may want to decide to go passthrough/in-place by inspecting
the support meta APIs. This patch duplicates the check for this mode,
so we still don't do uneeded allocation query while we allow sub-classes
to switch the behaviour during it's own decide_allocation call.
Notice that such sub-class need to reset the class to non-passthrough in
set_caps() in order for decide_allocation to be called again. This is
needed otherwise we'd be doing an allocation query in element in which
it make no sense (notably capsfilter).

Add a gst_base_src_submit_buffer_list() function that allows subclasses
to produce a bufferlist containing multiple buffers in the ::create()
function. The buffers in the buffer list will then also be pushed out
in one go as a GstBufferList. This can reduce push overhead
significantly for sources with packetised inputs (such as udpsrc)
in high-throughput scenarios.
The _submit_buffer_list() approach was chosen because it is fairly
straight-forward, backwards-compatible, bindings-friendly (as opposed
to e.g. making the create function return a mini object instead),
and it allows the subclass maximum control: the subclass can decide
dynamically at runtime whether to return a list or a single buffer
(which would be messier if we added a create_list virtual method).

Convenience function to just grab all pending data
from the harness, e.g. if we just want to check if
it matches what we expect and we don't care about
the chunking or buffer metadata.

If we're adding to the tail of the queue, it's because we're converting
a gap event, so don't block there it means we're calling from the output
thread.

Add a comment for when the state matters. Use a local var for priv in
update_time_level() to improve readability. Move the our_latency local
var below the query results checks.
We want to skip serialization for FLUSH_STOP events (apparently). We can
simplify the code to add it to the top-level conditions. There was nothing
done in the first code path if the event was FLUSH_STOP.
Just queue it like any other serialized event. This way we don't need to
check if there still are buffers in the queue.
Validated with the tests and gst-launch-1.0 pipelines.
Don't copy the whole event struct. Set the input params when we call the
forwarding helper. Initialize the internal fields and return values in the
helper.
Otherwise check_events() will not remove the GAP event (as the queue
tail is not the event anymore but the GAP buffer), then the GAP buffer
is handled, then the GAP event is handled again, ... forever.
This ensures that they really get processed in order with
buffers. Just waiting for the queue to be empty is sometimes not
enough as the buffers are dropped from the pad before the result is
pushed to the next element, sometimes resulting in surprising
re-ordering.
In the case an aggregator is created and pads are requested but only
linked later, we end up never updating the upstream latency.
This was because latency queries on pads that are not linked succeed,
so we never did a new query once a live source has been linked, so the
thread was never started.

The function needs to be unlocked if any data is received, but only
end the first buffer processing on an actual buffer, synchronized events
don't matter on the first buffer processing.

Allowing us to tell GstPad why we are failing an event, which might
be because we are 'flushing' even if the sinkpad is not in flush state
at that point.
Until now we would start the task when the pad is activated. Part of the
activiation concist of testing if the pipeline is live or not.
Unfortunatly, this is often too soon, as it's likely that the pad get
activated before it is fully linked in dynamic pipeline.
Instead, start the task when the first serialized event arrive. This is
a safe moment as we know that the upstream chain is complete and just
like the pad activation, the pads are locked, hence cannot change.

This fixes a race where we check if there is a clock, then it get
removed and we endup calling gst_clock_new_single_shot_id() with a NULL
pointer instead of a valid clock and also calling gst_object_unref()
with a NULL pointer later.

Previously, while allocating the pad number for a new pad, aggregator was
maintaining an interesting relationship between the pad count and the pad
number.
If you requested a sink pad called "sink_6", padcount (which is badly named and
actually means number-of-pads-minus-one) would be set to 6. Which means that if
you then requested a sink pad called "sink_0", it would be assigned the name
"sink_6" again, which fails the non-uniqueness test inside gstelement.c.
This can be fixed by instead setting padcount to be 7 in that case, but this
breaks manual management of pad names by the application since it then becomes
impossible to request a pad called "sink_2". Instead, we fix this by always
directly using the requested name as the sink pad name. Uniqueness of the pad
name is tested separately inside gstreamer core. If no name is requested, we use
the next available pad number.
Note that this is important since the sinkpad numbering in aggregator is not
meaningless. Videoaggregator uses it to decide the Z-order of video frames.
