So far, we have been completely discarding the values of latency-time
and buffer-time and trying to always open the device in the lowest
latency mode possible. However, sometimes this is a bad idea:
1. When we want to save power/CPU and don't want low latency
2. When the lowest latency setting causes glitches
3. Other audio-driver bugs
Now we will try to follow the user-set values of latency-time and
buffer-time in shared mode, and only latency-time in exclusive mode (we
have no control over the hardware buffer size, and there is no use in
setting GstAudioRingBuffer size to something larger).
The elements will still try to open the devices in the lowest latency
mode possible if you set the "low-latency" property to "true".

This requires using allocated strings, but it's the best option. For
instance, a call could fail because CoInitialize() wasn't called, or
because some other thing in the stack failed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793289
This is particularly important when running in exclusive mode because
any delays will immediately cause glitching.
The MinGW version in Cerbero is too old, so we can only enable this when
building with MSVC or when people build GStreamer for MSYS2 or other
MinGW-based distributions.
To force-enable this code when building with MinGW, build with
CFLAGS="-DGST_FORCE_WIN_AVRT -lavrt".

This provides much lower latency compared to opening in shared mode,
but it also means that the device cannot be opened by any other
application. The advantage is that the achievable latency is much
lower.
In shared mode, WASAPI's engine period is 10ms, and so that is the
lowest latency achievable.
In exclusive mode, the limit is the device period itself, which in my
testing with USB DACs, on-board PCI sound-cards, and HDMI cards is
between 2ms and 3.33ms.
We set our audioringbuffer limits to match the device, so the
achievable sink latency is 6-9ms. Further improvements can be made if
needed.

We will use ->device for storing a pointer to the IMMDevice structure
which is needed for fetching the caps supported by devices in
exclusive mode.

Is not correct where != 0 indicates some kind of success.
Check instead that the correct number of elements were slurped.
This keep-it-simple plugin is useful when you want to pipe arbitrary
data to a different pipeline within the same process. Some advantages
over appsink/appsrc, the inter elements, etc:
* Ease of use. Buffers, events, and caps are transmitted as-is without
copying or serialization.
* Enables zerocopy (especially DMABUF) transparently without any
special-casing.
* Enables usage with sinks or elements that are unreliable and may
throw errors and need re-initialization, such as a network sink, a
USB device sink (v4l2), etc.
* Transmits arbitrary data, not just audio/video/subs
* Can easily implement 1 producer pipeline -> N dynamic consumer
pipelines within a single process when combined with the `tee`
element.
All queries, events, buffers, and buffer lists are proxied. State
changes, clocks, and base times for the two pipelines are independent
since the upstream and downstreams continue to be different pipelines.

SDP's are generated and consumed according to the W3C PeerConnection API
available from https://www.w3.org/TR/webrtc/
The SDP is either created initially from the connected
sink pads/attached transceivers as in the case of generating an offer or
intersected with the connected sink pads/attached transceivers as in
the case for creating an answer. In both cases, the rtp payloaded streams
sent by the peer are exposed as separate src pads.
The implementation supports trickle ICE, RTCP muxing, reduced size RTCP.

By removing the indirection to the main loop completely when receiving
the peer certificate. For reference, the on-decoder-key signal does not
have a redirection.
gdpdepay element uses the decide_allocation to fetch the downstream
allocator. Nonetheless it is possible that allocate uses a custom
alloc function, which is not usable by gdpdepay, crashing later the
application when the allocater buffer is NULL.
This patch checks for the allocator flags and reset it if the
allocator has a custom alloc function.

When querying downstream for allocation, and the source caps hasn't
set its caps, using ANY by default, it raises a critical message in
console:
CRITICAL **: gst_video_info_from_caps: assertion 'gst_caps_is_fixed (caps)' failed
This patch bails out decide_allocation() if the caps aren't fixed.

This will set the actual-latency-time and actual-buffer-time of the sink
and source.
We completely ignore the latency-time/buffer-time values set
on the element because WASAPI is happiest when it is reading/writing at
the default period. Improving this will likely require the use of the
IAudioClient3 interfaces which are not available in MinGW yet.

Currently only does probing and does not handle messages from
endpoints/devices. In the future we want to do proper monitoring which
is well-supported in WASAPI.

We need to parse the WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE structure, figure out what
positions the channels have (if they are positional), and reorder them
as necessary.

According to the vp8 spec, the first partition (size can be derived from
the frame header) should have all compressed header information and we
implemented gst codecparser based on that. But it doesn't seem to be the
case with some of the streams (#792773) and libvpx
works fine because it uses the whole frame size (not the first partition
size) to initialize the bool decoder.

We call the base class first as this will remove the pad from
the aggregator, thus stopping misc callbacks from being called,
one of which (process_textures) will recreate the vertex_buffer
if it is destroyed

For libsrtp 1, add defines that translate the new namespaced identifiers
to the old unnamespaced ones. Also move the code for setting and getting
a stream's ROC into two compat functions that match libsrtp2's API.
It seems that libsrtp2 properly supports changing the ROC without having
to touch the sequence numbers afterwards, given that srtp_set_stream_roc
sets a pending_roc field, so the entire roc_changed dance should not be
needed anymore. The compat functions for libsrtp 1 just contain our
preexisting hacks, however, so it's still needed there.
libsrtp2 has no means of discovering the streams in the session, so to
create the stats structure we need to iterate over our own set of SSRCs.
For this we also need to re-add the previously removed ssrcs_set to the
encoder.

Fix regression when used in combination with new flvmux which was
ported to GstAggregator, and which sends plain video/x-flv caps
before sending full caps that include streamheaders.
This information could be used for example to pick a decoder supporting
a specific chroma and/or bit depth, like 4:2:2 10 bits.
It can also be used to inform earlier decoder about the format it is
about to decode.
