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.
This reverts commit 9ef1346b1f.
Way to much for one commit and I'm not sure we want to get rid of the pad caps
just like that. It's nice to have the buffer and its type in onw nice bundle
without having to drag the complete context with it.
Remove pad_alloc and all references. This can now be done more efficiently and
more flexible with the ALLOCATION query and the bufferpool objects. There is no
reverse negotiation yet but that will be done with an event later.
Protect index with its own lock. gst_index_get_writer_id() may take
the object lock internally (the default resolver, GST_INDEX_RESOLVER_PATH,
will anyway), so if we're using that to protect the index as well,
we'll deadlock.

Change semantics of gst_base_parse_push_frame() and make it take
ownership of the whole frame, not just the frame contents. This
is more in line with how gst_pad_push() etc. work. Just transfering
the content, but not the container of something that's not really
known to be a container is hard to annotate properly and probably
won't work. We mark frames allocated on the stack now with a private
flag in gst_base_parse_frame_init(), so gst_base_parse_frame_free()
only frees the contents in that case but not the frame struct itself.

API: gst_base_parse_frame_new()
1) We need to lock and get a strong ref to the parent, if still there.
2) If it has gone away, we need to handle that gracefully.
This is necessary in order to safely modify a running pipeline. Has been
observed when a streaming thread is doing a buffer_alloc() while an
application thread sends an event on a pad further downstream, and from
within a pad probe (holding STREAM_LOCK) carries out the pipeline plumbing
while the streaming thread has its buffer_alloc() in progress.
Remove the android/ top dir
Fixe the Makefile.am to be androgenized
To build gstreamer for android we are now using androgenizer which generates the needed Android.mk files.
Androgenizer can be found here: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/derek/androgenizer.git
Seems like the best fit to what it does, and is shorter than
set_frame_properties() which might also have been confusing
because of GstBaseParseFrame.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518857
This is more in line with e.g. GstBaseTransform's API, and makes for nicer
to read code. No getters for now since I don't see any use case for them,
the API is for subclasses, which usually know what format they're
dealing with already and hence know what they've set.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518857
The first because it seems a better fit conceptually, the second
to express booleanness. Also change the accessor macros for subclasses
to GST_BASE_PARSE_DRAINING and GST_BASE_PARSE_LOST_SYNC.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518857
This is useful for parser like flacparse or h264parse which may need to process
some buffers before they can construct the final caps, in which case they may
want to delay pushing the initial buffers until the full and proper caps are
known.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646341
This makes more sense conceptually, since the bitrate may be used
to estimate a seek position if there's no seek table or just for
duration reporting/estimation if we can't seek. Also, even if the
format is not syncable, we could still seek by pushing data from the
start and using the segment to make downstream clip.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518857
Also change gst_base_parse_set_format(parse,flags,switch_on) to
gst_base_parse_set_format_flags(parse,flags) which is more in line
with the rest of our API and how the function is used.
