Before this patch gst_init would intercept --help, causing for example
cheese's --help to look like this:
[hans@shalem cheese]$ cheese --help
Usage:
cheese [OPTION...] - GStreamer initialization
Help Options:
-h, --help Show help options
--help-all Show all help options
--help-gst Show GStreamer Options
gst_init is the only gfoo_init function which does this.

API: gst_value_array_append_and_take_value
API: gst_value_list_append_and_take_value
We were already using this internally, this makes it public for code
which frequently appends values which are expensive to copy (like
structures, arrays, caps, ...).
Avoids copies of the values for users. The passed GValue will also
be 0-memset'ed for re-use.
New users can replace this kind of code:
gst_value_*_append_value(mycontainer, &myvalue);
g_value_unset(&myvalue);
by:
gst_value_*_append_and_take_value(mycontainer, &myvalue);

But do this only for events that are not dropped by flushing,
i.e. do it only for everything except SEGMENT and EOS.
Without this we might drop a CAPS event if flushing happens
at an unfortunate time and nobody is resending the CAPS event.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700806
If a pad block was triggered from sending a sticky event downstream, it
could happen that the pad block is relinking pads, which then requires
to resend previous sticky events.
Previous patch was inforcing a complete ordering of the sticky events, while
in fact, only STREAM_START, CAPS and SEGMENT events need proper ordering.
See: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688188
We can prevent buggy element from causing other elements to fail or crash
by sorting sticky event at insertion. In this case, we also warn as this
is not supposed to happen.

Fixes abort when the old specifiers are used. Fix up the conversion
specifier, it would get overwritten with 'c' below to the extension
format char, which then later is unhandled, leading to the abort.
Also fix up and enable unit test for this.

Source elements with limited bandwidth capabilities and supporting
buffering for downstream elements should set this flag when answering
a scheduling query. This is useful for the on-disk buffering scenario

hardcoded protocols.

API: GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_DECLARE()
API: GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_REGISTER()
Based on a patch by Håvard Graff <havard.graff@tandberg.com>.
This now allows GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE() to create a static plugin if
GST_PLUGIN_BUILD_STATIC is defined. The resulting plugin can be
statically linked or dynamically linked during compilation but
can't be dynamically loaded during runtime.
Also adds GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_DECLARE() and GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_REGISTER(),
which allows to register a static linked plugin easily.
It is still required to manually register every single statically linked
plugin from inside the application as this can't be automated in a portable
way.
A new configure parameter --enable-static-plugins was added that allows
to build all plugins we build here as static plugins.
Fixes bug #667305.
The gst_plugin_feature_rank_compare_func() should return
negative value, if the rank of both PluginFeatures are equal and
the name of first PluginFeature comes before the second one.

Don't use snprintf(), but use sprintf instead and do our own
length calculations, because glibc may complain about us passing
%n in a format string if the string is in writable memory, and
here the format string is always in writable memory since we
construct it on the fly. This happens if glibc has been compiled
with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, which seems to be the case on some
distros/systems). On the upside, we now use the sprintf code path
on all systems which should be better from a maintenance point
of view.

Make GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE use G_STRINGIFY() to convert the name argument
into a meaningful string. The advantage of this is that `name' can be
expanded from other macros defined in the plug-in element.

Don't use just GLIB_HAVE_ALLOCA_H to check if alloca is available,
that's just for the header. GLib may define alloca for us otherwise
too irrespective of GLIB_HAVE_ALLOCA_H.
Fixes compiler warning with mingw32:
gst/printf/vasnprintf.c:73:0: warning: "alloca" redefined
Does not do anything yet. On a sidenote, we can't just use
%p\001 or so to signal the extension because g-i complains
about an invalid ascii character then, so have to resort to
something more elaborate, such as %p\aA etc.

Iterate over the fields of the superset instead of those of the subset.
This way we can check the presence of the subset field and do the subset check
in one iteration.
Very often, when the end of a segment is detected by demuxer, the position
is slightly outside the segment boundaries. Currently, if that is the case
the base will be set to NONE instead of normal accumulation. This would
break non-flushing seeks in oggdemux and most likely other demuxers.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696899
This is equal to any other caps features but results in unfixed caps. It
would be used by elements that only look at the buffer metadata or are
currently working in passthrough mode, and as such don't care about any
specific features.
These are meant to specify features in caps that are required
for a specific structure, for example a specific memory type
or meta.
Semantically they could be though of as an extension of the media
type name of the structures and are handled exactly like that.
Elements should override GstElement::set_context() and also call
gst_element_set_context() to keep this context up-to-date with
the very latest context they internally use.
When flushing, it is expected that upstream will send a SEGMENT
event afterwards.
This also avoids stray SEGMENT events from coming through after a
flush.
Unref the allocator *after* we have freed the memory. We also need to keep
a ref to the allocator around because following the now freed memory would
lead to crashes.
This reverts commit 1a1a9e143f.
This breaks the pipelines/tagschecking unit test for some reason
(fakesrc ! capsfilter ! qtmux linking fails now). It might be
a bug in the unit test of course, but someone will need to
investigate this. Reverting for now.

Only use the allocator of the copied memory when we can use the default
_alloc function on it. Otherwise we will have to use the default
allocator for the copy.
motivation comes from: /* FIXME: why not gst_pad_get_pad_template (pad); */
this code path is quite nicer, we now only revert to creating the template
if gst_pad_get_pad_template fails.
with this fork, we gain a non-allocation of GstCaps *templcaps

gst_bin_query() now forwards the query to the source pads as well if
none of the sinks of the bin satisfied the query. This helps in the
case of DURATION queries done a bin containing a source element.

Under certain GST_STATE_CHANGED_PAUSED_TO_PLAYING transitions, a pipeline with
a NULL clock will fail an assertion due to an unchecked call to gst_object_ref().

the code ifed a debug statement, that can't be right. anyway, the way it is,

The _1_0 suffixed environment variables override the
non-suffixed ones, so if we're in an environment that
sets the _1_0 suffixed ones, such as jhbuild, we need
to set those to make sure ours actually always get
used.
Avoid unnecessary value copying, and unnecessary init/unset
cycles which all go through the value table. There's a bunch
of places where we copy a value and then unset it in the next
line, instead of just taking over the source value.
Add a GST_BIN_FLAG_NO_RESYNC that disables a resync when an element is added,
removed or linked in the bin. This is interesting for complex bins that
dynamically add elements to themselves and want to manage the state of those
elements without interference from resyncs.

We don't need to link to gthread-2.0 any longer, since all

The function init_pre() in gstreamer/gst/gst.c calls setlocale(LC_ALL, ""),
which sets the locale to the values specified in the environment. This is
wrong for two reasons:
1. It is absolutely not the task of a library to decide on the correct locale
for a program. Some programs change the locale for various (good or bad)
reasons, and libraries should respect that. Programs where GStreamer's
overwriting of the locale causes bugs include Emacs [1, 2], Sublime Text [3],
and Lua [4].

[3] http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8543
[4] https://github.com/pavouk/lgi/issues/19
Note that setting the locale can cause problems for programs that are not even
linked against GStreamer. In the case of Emacs, for example, GStreamer seems
to be initialized through GTK via libcanberra.
2. Setting the locale is not thread-safe, and therefore should not be done in a
library.

It's usually not a problem if a query fails if there's no peer,
especially as it will happen during pad linking (caps query)
quite often and spams the logs.
If we try to push sticky events but a probe dropped them, we don't mark
the event as received and mark the pad as PENDING_EVENTS. This ensures
that we resend the event the next time. For this we need to let the
custom flow return from the probe trickle up to
gst_pad_push_event_unchecked() so that we can differentiate between
OK and DROPPED probe returns.
First check that we can actually register the implementation before
making a GstMetaInfo. If we can't register we would otherwise end
up with an undefined type and an invalid GstMetaInfo.
It's possible that type registration fails because another metadata
with the same implementation name was already registered.
Fixes negotiation taking a ridiculous amount of
time (multiple 10s of seconds on a core2) when
there are duplicate entries in lists.
Could have a negative performance impact on other
scenarios because we now have to iterate the
dest list to avoid duplicates, but we don't
have a lot of lists any more these days, and
they tend to be small anyway. The negatives
are hopefully countered by the positive effects
of reducing the list length early on in the
process. And in any case, it's the right thing
to do.

Also add test to make sure that if a pad probe is removed while it's

Facilitate GstBuffer -> GstSample transition for some tags,
could be hard to catch otherwise when creating tags, since
it'll only be apparent later when someone tries to read the
tags.
We usually first create the stream_id for the stream_start event and then add
the pad to the element. This means that this functions should work when there
are no pads on the element yet.
Recheck for sticky events after doing a pad block because the pad block could
have caused a relink and then we need to resend the events to the newly linked
pad.
Fixes things like switching of visualisations.
The duration should be re-queried via a query using the
normal path, we don't want applications to use the value
from the message itself, since it might no match what a
duration query done from the sink upstream might yield.
Also disables duration caching in GstBin. It should be
added back again at some point.

Elements such as the GstIirEqualizerNBands would so far not store the properties
