- Length of NIT stream descriptors was not detected correct
- Reserved bits was not set according to EN 300 468, ISO/IEC 13818-1
- Also set output data size if the section was previously packetized

The muxer is now able to include DVB sections in the transport stream.
The si-interval property will determine how often the SI tables are
muxed into the stream.
The section is handled by the mpeg-ts library. Below is a small example
that will include a Netork Information Table with a Network Name
descriptor in the stream.
GstMpegTsNIT *nit;
GstMpegTsDescriptor *descriptor;
GstMpegTsSection *section;
GstElement *mpegtsmux;
gst_mpegts_initialize ();
nit = gst_mpegts_section_nit_new ();
nit->actual_network = TRUE;
descriptor = gst_mpegts_descriptor_from_dvb_network_name ("Network name");
g_ptr_array_add (nit->descriptors, descriptor);
section = gst_mpegts_section_from_nit (nit);
// mpegtsmux should be retrieved from the pipeline
gst_mpegts_section_send_event (section, mpegtsmux);
gst_mpegts_section_unref (section);
The original code (old mpegtsparse) from which this plugin was based on
was dual-licensed. This allowed usage of the code under any of the
licenses (which including LGPL):

When refactored (leading to the creation of this new plugin), I chose all
new code to be LGPL-only (which was allowed for pre-existing code) by removing
the MPL sections.
The headers were all updated, but not the plugin license field. This commit
fixes this.
The thread that calls the success/failure callback can be the
same that is adding/removing the element as the IDLE probe can
happen instantly if the pad is not 'busy'.
This required moving some checks for the callback counter around
as well as removing some pad pushes from the main test thread as
they were made useless after the IDLE pad probe was fixed in core
by commit 0324358ebc
In order to be able to change the caps on multiple capsfilters the
source element needs to be stopped, otherwise it will get a few
reconfigure events and might try to renegotiate while the bin
is still transitioning its caps, leading to a not-negotiated failure
and the image capture won't happen because the source will be
unusable.
The solution is to keep the source in paused while the caps are being
changed in the bin, and then bring the element back to playing once
it is done. Unfortunately this increases the image capture latency,
but it should always work.
A possible improvement to reduce the latency is to add another signal
to be called before 'start-capture': 'prepare-capture'. At this step
the camera source should set all caps it needs and get the source
ready for doing the capture as soon as 'start-capture' is called.
This can be done on a future commit
