They can fail for various reasons.
For non-fatal cases (such as the dump feature of identiy and fakesink),
we just silently skip it.
For other cases post an error message.

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
Group the extra allocation parameters in a GstAllocationParams structure to make
it easier to deal with them and so that we can extend them later if needed.
Make gst_buffer_new_allocate() take the GstAllocationParams for added
functionality.
Add boxed type for GstAllocationParams.
Make a new method to allocate a buffer + memory that takes the allocator and the
alignment as parameters. Provide a macro for the old method but prefer to use
the new method to encourage plugins to negotiate the allocator properly.
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.
Parse a size=value from the query string to specify a size. This is interesting
when reading from a file descriptor that actually has a size (and is not
stat-able, such as the socket of an http connection)
This changes some APIs in compatible ways:
- Some functions now take "const char *" arguments, not "char *"
- Some structs now have "conts char *" members, not "char *"
The changes may cause warnings when compiling with the right warning
flags. You've been warned.
Also adds -Wwrite-strings as a warning flag in configure.ac.

Initialize new_fd with DEFAULT_FD and fd with -1. Setting the property will set
new_fd and in _update_fd() we cehck fd against -1. Also add a coment about the
warning we get in the log from gst_poll_remove_fd(). We could get rid of the
warning if we want by tracking if fd has been added to fdset.

API: Add URI query type. This is useful to query the URI
of a sink/source element and can be used by demuxers that
need to get data from other files.
This query should go upstream by default.
Fixes bug #562949.

Use gst_buffer_try_new_and_alloc() and handle errors instead of
using gst_buffer_new_and_alloc() which aborts if the buffer couldn't
be allocated.
