For some cameras `gst_jpeg_parse_app0()` fails on a invalid segment.
While this is likely a driver or firmware bug that should be addressed
accordingly, it's not fatal and likely does not deserve a bus message on
every frame, flooding journals.
Turn down the volume of the warnings by turning them into object
warnings. If we conclude that in some cases we'd still want bus
warnings, they can be done more fine-grained in the
`gst_jpeg_parse_appX()` functions.

GstD3D12Device objetct's internal resources are singletons per adapter
already though, the object itself is not a singleton.
Due to the singleton design (unlike other APIs such as d3d11),
d3d12 device context sharing is not a strict requirement
for zero-copy, but handles context ones to make things less noisy.

Adding RGBA, RGBx, BGRA, BGRx, VUYA and RGB10A2_LE format support for performance.
However, these formats are not still recommended if upstream can support

If parameters remain similar enough to avoid either encoder reopening
or downstream renegotiation, avoid it.
This is going to be useful for dynamic parameters setting.
To check if the stream parameters changed, so the internal encoder has
to be closed and opened again, are required two steps:
1. If input caps, format, profile, chroma or rate control mode have changed.
2. If any of the calculated variables and element properties have changed.
Later on, only if the output caps also changed, the pipeline
is renegotiated.

It might happen that the key event arrives when the d3d11videosink

There was a potential busy loop occuring because when we were taking

In an early non-linked scenario, this was causing a ton of criticals about the queue array,

Sometimes a call to negotiate (and thus drain) can happen from the output loop
(via finish_frame()), which will tell VT to output all internal frames, but that won't succeed
if we happen to decide to wait for the queue to empty (because the loop is waiting for draining to finish and
will not make space in the queue!). This commit adds an override for the queue size limit if we're draining/flushing.

Because ID3D12Device objects are singletons per adapter,
GstD3D12Device was following the API design, that is, keep track

That means ID3D12Device object can be released at the time
when GstD3D12Device is destroyed.
But exetrnal APIs such as NVENC does not seem to be happy

In order to simplify caps negotiations for clients and, notably, be more

Crucially this allows clients to know ahead of time whether buffers will

Similar to GstVaBaseDec we only announce system memory caps if the peer

This fixes a crash in `gst_va_h264_enc_class_init` and `gst_va_h265_enc_class_init`
(and probably also in gst_va_av1_enc_class_init) when calling
`g_object_class_install_properties (object_class, n_props, properties);`
When rate_control_type is 0, the following code is executed in :
```
} else {
n_props--;
properties[PROP_RATE_CONTROL] = NULL;

n_props has initially a value of N_PROPERTIES but PROP_RATE_CONTROL
is not the last element in the array, so it's making
g_object_class_install_properties fail to iterate over the

The transport stream only returned the CAPS for the first matching PT entry
from the `ptmap`. Other SSRC with the same PT where not included. For a stream
which bundled multiple audio streams for instance, only the first SSRC was
knowed to the SSRC demux and downstream elements.
This commit adds all the `ssrc-` attributes from the matching PT entries.
The RTP jitter buffer can now find the CNAME corresponding its SSRC even if it
was not the first to be registered for a particular PT.
The RTP PT demux removes `ssrc-*` attributes cooresponding to other SSRCs

In the situation where playback starts from a keyframe before

Provide a clock from the source that is a monotonic system clock with
the rate corrected based on the measured and ideal capture rate of the
frames.
If this clock is selected as pipeline clock, then provide perfect
timestamps to downstream.
Otherwise, if the pipeline clock is the monotonic system clock, use the
internal clock for converting back to the monotonic system clock.
Otherwise, use the monotonic system clock time calculated in the above
case and convert that to the pipeline clock.
In all cases this will give a smoother time than the previous code,
which simply took the difference between the driver provided capture
time and the current real-time clock time, and applied that to the
current pipeline clock time.

In low delay B mode, the P frame is converted as B frame with forward
references. For example, One P frame may refers to P-1, P-2 and P-3 in
list0 and refers to P-3, P-2 and P-1 in list1.
So the num in list0 and list1 does not reflect the forward_num and
backward_num. The vaapi does not provide ref num for forward or backward
so far. In this case, we just consider the backward_num to be 1 conservatively.

Syncrhonizing buffer commits to the streaming thread can lead to
dropped frames when frame callbacks are not processed before the
next frame is ready for rendering. Depending on the drift between

rate is close to the display frame rate.

display thread to eliminate the buffer commit racing.

This is a simplification of the venerable
gst_va_base_dec_get_preferred_format_and_caps_features() function, which
predates since gstreamer-vaapi. It's used to select the format and the
capsfeature to use when setting the output state. It was complex and hard to
follow. This refactor simplifies a lot the algorithm.
The first thing to remove _downstream_has_video_meta() since, most of the time
it will be called before the caps negotiation, and allocation queries make sense
only after caps negotiation. It might work during renegotiation but, in that
case, caps feature change is uncommon. Better a simple and common approach.
Also, for performance, instead of dealing with caps features as strings, GQuarks
are used.
The refactor works like this:
1. If peer pad returns any caps, the returned caps feature is system memory and
looks for a proper format in the allowed caps.
2. The allowed caps are traversed at most 3 times: one per each valid caps
feature. First VAMemory, later DMABuf, and last system memory. The first to
match in allowed caps is picked, and the first format matching with the
chroma is picked too.
Notice that, right now, using playbin videoconvert never return any.

Previously, the path lock was held even while issuing caps queries to
other elements. This can lead to deadlocks in more complex pipelines.
Avoid this by reworking gst_switch_bin_get_allowed_caps() to acquire
references to switchbin paths and then releasing the path lock.
Subsequent operations in that function then act on the acquired
references, thus eliminating the need for holding the path lock for
the entirety of that function.

The caps query specifies _all_ caps that the element can handle, not just
caps from the current path element. If for example a switchbin has two
paths, with one having an element that handles video/x-h264, and another
path whose element handles video/x-raw, and the second path is the
current path, then the existing code would report only video/x-raw as
supported. Fix this by report all allowed caps, even if there is a
current path defined.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/4632>
The rationale is that a passthrough path (= one with no element) behaves
as if the switchbin's sink- and srcpad were one. In particular, internal
caps queries (needed for computing the allowed caps) then go to the peers
instead to path elements. Rework gst_switch_bin_get_allowed_caps () for
a clear handling of NULL path elements and for proper dataflow passthrough
and caps & accept-caps query handling.
