Before, the watch backlog size in GstRTSPClient was changed
dynamically between unlimited and a fixed size, trying to avoid both
unlimited memory usage and deadlocks while waiting for place in the
queue. (Some of the deadlocks were described in a long comment in
handle_request().)
In the previous commit, we changed to a fixed backlog size of 100.
This is possible, because we now handle RTP/RTCP data messages differently
from RTSP request/response messages.
The data messages are messages tunneled over TCP. We allow at most one
queued data message per stream in GstRTSPClient at a time, and
successfully sent data messages are acked by sending a "message-sent"
callback from the GstStreamTransport. Until that ack comes, the
GstRTSPStream does not call pull_sample() on its appsink, and
therefore the streaming thread in the pipeline will not be blocked
inside GstRTSPClient, waiting for a place in the queue.
pull_sample() is called when we have both an ack and a "new-sample"
signal from the appsink. Then, we know there is a buffer to write.
RTSP request/response messages are not acked in the same way as data
messages. The rest of the 100 places in the queue are used for
them. If the queue becomes full of request/response messages, we
return an error and close the connection to the client.

We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
Make a method to handle the data received on a channel. It sends the
data to the stream of the transport on the RTP or RTCP pads based on
the channel number.
Add method to create the RTPInfo for a stream-transport.
Add method to create the RTPInfo for all stream-transports in a
session-media.
Use the session-media RTPInfo code in client. This allows us to refactor
another method to link the TCP callbacks.
Use the address managed by the stream for multicast. This allows us to have 1
multicast address for each stream.
Because the address is now managed by the stream we don't have to pass it around
anymore.
Set the address pool on the streams.
Return a boxed GstRTSPAddress from the GstRTSPAddressPool. This allows us to
store more info in the structure and allows us to more easily return the address
to the right pool when no longer needed.
Pass the address to the StreamTransport so that we can return it to the pool
when the stream transport is freed or changed.
Make GObjects from the remaining simple structures.
Remove GstRTSPSessionStream, it's not needed.
Rename GstRTSPMediaStream -> GstRTSPStream: It is shorter
Rename GstRTSPMediaTrans -> GstRTSPStreamTransport: It describes how
a GstRTSPStream should be transported to a client.
Rename GstRTSPMediaFactory::get_element -> create_element because that
more accurately describes what it does.
Make nice methods instead of poking in the structures.
Move some methods inside the relevant object source code.
Use GPtrArray to store objects instead of plain arrays, it is more
natural and allows us to more easily clean up.
Move the allocation of udp ports to the Stream object. The Stream object
contains the elements needed to stream the media to a client.
Improve the prepare and unprepare methods. Unprepare should now undo
everything prepare did. Improve also async unprepare when doing EOS on
shutdown. Make sure we always unprepare correctly.
