... in the extent that a non-waiting pad (so indicated by newsegment)
turns out to provide the best buffer, which is then forced to waiting
for book-keeping purposes, but that should only be temporary.
See bug #415754.
This handles muxing of sparse/subtitle streams and has
lots of cleanup. Still missing is special support for
live streams but this can be added later without breaking
API/ABI.
Based on the version from the videomixer plugin.

Speeds up negotiation a fair bit on a contrived pipeline
with a dozen colorspace conversions.
Hopefully clears out the cache every time it ought to.

API: GstBaseParseClass::detect()
This is called with the first buffers until the subclass has finished detection
and only afterwards the original buffers are handled as before. The vfunc allows
detection of the stream format without breaking the upstream framing.
Adds a getcaps function to the sink pad to make parsers propagate
downstream caps restrictions to upstream.
The pipeline "audiotestsrc num-buffers=100 ! faac ! aacparse !
"audio/mpeg, version=(int)4, stream-format=(string)adts" ! filesink"
wouldn't work because aacparse wouldn't propagate the adts restriction
upstream to faac.
This patch adds a default getcaps to the sink pad to simply proxy
downstream caps and also adds a 'get_sink_caps' function pointer
to GstBaseParseClass for subclasses that need more refined getcaps.

Some elements (such as videorate) might push buffers early,
for instance in in transform_ip. We want events (and in particular
any NEWSEGMENT event) to be pushed before that.
This fixes transmageddon wedging on converting a file starting
with a non zero offset to Ogg.

Otherwise elements like capsfilter will return ANY caps if no
peer is present instead of the filter caps. The transform_caps()
vfunc could do transformations to the template caps that do not
result in the unmodified template caps.
Wim suggested that using GstPadDirection instead of a GstPad in the
arguments to the new query vfunc would be more consistent with the other
functions.
This allows subclass to indicate that size reported by src may not be static
and should as such be updated regularly, rather than only when really
needed.
Particular examples are filesrc or fdsrc reading from a file that is still
growing (e.g. being downloaded).
Fixes#652037.
This reverts commit 934faf163c.
Original commit leads to possibly sending newsegment event downstream
in pull mode. In push mode, quite some downstream elements
are likely to only expect newsegment event following a seek they performed
and as such may have their state messed up.
