Generating the source element is done when urisourcebin is doing the READY to
PAUSED state change, so it is reasonable to set the new source element to that
state.
This also allows detecting early failures with backing libraries or
hardware (checks done in NULL->READY).
Finally it makes more sense to have an element in READY when attempting to query
information from it (such as SCHEDULING queries or probing live-ness).

self->eos was never reset after streamsynchronizer has sent EOS
(except on explicit flush or switching back to PAUSED).
As a result, synchronization was broken if new streams were pushed later
as gst_stream_synchronizer_wait() does not wait if self->eos is set.
Fix this by reseting self->eos on STREAM_START as that means a new
stream is being sent upstream and so a new EOS will follow later on.

Allow a project to use gstreamer-full as a static library
and link to create a binary without dependencies.
Introduce the option 'gst-full-target-type' to
select the build type, dynamic(default) or static.
In gstreamer-full/static build configuration gstreamer (gst.c)
needs the symbol gst_init_static_plugins which is defined
in gstreamer-full.
All the tests and examples are linking with gstreamer but the
symbol gst_init_static_plugins is only defined in the gstreamer-full
library. gstreamer-full can not be built first as it needs to know what plugins
will be built.
One option would be to build all the examples and tests after
gstreamer-full as the tools.
Disable tools build in subprojects too as it will be built at the end of
build process.

While decodebin3 could handle changes in inputs (ex: changing codecs), there was
still one limitation which was when changing between sources which had
non-intersecting stream types (ex: switching from a video-only source to a
audio-only source). While the decoder *could* change to the proper codec ... it
would carry on using a `DecodebinOutputStream` associated to that stream
type (and therefore with pads with the wrong name).
In order to handle this:
* We notify the `MultiQueueSlot` of the change in `GstStreamType` if it already
had an associated inputstream (ex: the one associated with the static sink
pad)
* We detect such changes on the output of multiqueue as soon as
possible (i.e. when we get the GST_EVENT_STREAM_START for the new stream type)
by discarding the associated output.

decodebin3 will do its best to figure out whether a parsebin is required to
process the incoming stream.
The problem is that for push-based stream it could happen that the stream would
not provide any caps, resulting in nothing being linked internally.
Furthermore, there is the possibility that a stream *with* caps would not be
using a TIME segment, which is required for multiqueue to properly work.
In order to fix those two issues, we force the usage of parsebin on push-based
streams:
* When the pad is linked, if upstream can't provide any caps
* When we get a non-TIME segment

This is a follow-up of the previous commit that enabled support for redirection.
The problem is that the urisourcebin that emitted the error redirection never

Instead of that, if we can't plug anymore elements on a given stream *and* it is

With the addition of the 'keep-aspect-ratio' sizing policy, content
that doesn't fit the target size is downscaled according to its own
aspect ratio to fit that target size, and centered.
Centering might not always be the desired behaviour, however;
consumers of this API might want to align the resulting picture to
the left or to the right.
To account for any of these cases, add two new properties to the
glvideomixer pad: xalign, and yalign. They operate on normalized
coordinates (0.0 for start, 1.0 for end), and default to 0.5 which
centers content.

The sizing policy allows selecting between the current behavior,
which deforms the texture to fill the width and height of the
pad; and a new 'keep-aspect-ratio' sizing policy, which fits the
texture within the rectangle respecting its original aspect ratio.
The reason for this is that this allows avoiding extra elements
in the pipeline, and reduces the number of buffer passing through
the pipeline.
Most of this code is a direct port of the sizing policy handling
of the compositor element, except it is adapted to operate on GL
texture coordinates through the projection matrix.

We create a new context in `gst_gl_context_create_thread()` and then
activate it on the current thread. Thereafter we assume that the
current thread continues to be the active thread for that context and
call `gst_gl_context_fill_info()` which asserts that the current
thread is the active thread.
However, if at the same time a different thread calls
`send_message_async()`, it will call into
`gst_gl_window_cocoa_send_message_async()` which will schedule the
message to be invoked using GCD. That anonymous function will also
call `gst_gl_context_activate()`, which creates a race, which can lead
to:

In turn, as the CI doesn't build everything before building the

in the case of gst-rtsp-server, causing the output documentation to

Currently, when rtspsrc property add-reference-timestamp-metadata=true,
a downstream rtph264depay element will attach multiple copies of the
same GstReferenceTimestampMeta to the depayloaded media buffers. This
can have signficant performance impacts further downstream in a pipeline
like the following:
rtspsrc add-reference-timestamp-metadata=true ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! ... ! rtph264pay ! ...
For example, if there are 10 packet buffers for a frame of RTP H.264
video, each of those packet buffers will contain the same reference
timestamp meta. The rtph264depay element will then attach all 10
metadata to the depayloaded frame. And then later when we payload the
frame buffer again for proxying, we now have 10 more buffers each with
10 instance of the same metadata. Allocating/deallocating 100+ instances
of metadata @ 30fps for multiple streams has a pretty large performance
impact.

This was the intention from the start, just took me a few years *cough* to
actually implement it properly.
Gapless is handled by re-using as much as possible the same decoders and sinks
if present, and only pre-rolling switching at the sources level (with buffering
if/when needed).
In order to enable "gapless" playback, the "next" uri should be set at any time
between the moment the `about-to-finish` signal is emitted and the moment the
current play item is done. Previously this could only be done with the signal
emission.
This new implementation also allows "Instantaneous URI switching". This allows a
much faster way of switching playback entries while re-using as many elements as
possible. To enable this set `instant-uri` property to TRUE, the default being
FALSE.

DecodebinInput (and their backing parsebin or identity) are no longer released

Introduce the option to have the streams be parsed with `parsebin` for
compatible sources (i.e. which are eligible for buffering in the same way as

By parsing the inputs directly, this allows more accurate buffering control:
* Instead of relying on potential bitrate information coming from somewhere
* and *without* being linked downstream
If `parse-streams` is activated and the stream is eligible for buffering, then a
`multiqueue` will be used on the output of `parsebin` in order to handle the
buffering.

decodebin3 output caps.
This only applies if all the following conditions are met:
* The incoming stream can *NOT* do pull-based scheduling
* The incoming stream provides a `GstStream` and `GstStreamCollection`
* The caps are compatible with either the decodebin3 output caps or a decoder
input
If all those conditions are met, a identity element is used instead of a
parsebin element and the same code paths are taken.
