The basic idea is this:
1. For *larger* rtx-rtt, weigh a new measurement as before
2. For *smaller* rtx-rtt, be a bit more conservative and weigh a bit less
3. For very large measurements, consider them "outliers"
and count them a lot less
The idea being that reducing the rtx-rtt is much more harmful then
increasing it, since we don't want to be underestimating the rtt of the
network, and when using this number to estimate the latency you need for
you jitterbuffer, you would rather want it to be a bit larger then a bit
smaller, potentially losing rtx-packets. The "outlier-detector" is there
to prevent a single skewed measurement to affect the outcome too much.
On wireless networks, these are surprisingly common.

Assuming equidistant packet spacing when that's not true leads to more
loss than necessary in the case of reordering and jitter. Typically this
is true for video where one frame often consists of multiple packets
with the same rtp timestamp. In this case it's better to assume that the
missing packets have the same timestamp as the last received packet, so
that the scheduled lost timer does not time out too early causing the
packets to be considered lost even though they may arrive in time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769768
There is no need to schedule another EXPECTED timer if we're already
past the retry period. Under normal operation this won't happen, but if
there are more timers than the jitterbuffer is able to process in
real-time, scheduling more timers will just make the situation worse.
Instead, consider this packet as lost and move on. This scenario can
occur with high loss rate, low rtt and high configured latency.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769768
This patch fixes an issue with the estimated gap duration when there is
a gap immediately after a lost timer has been processed. Previously
there was a discrepancy beteen the gap in seqnum and gap in dts which
would cause wrong calculated duration. The issue would only be seen with
retranmission enabled since when it's disabled lost timers are only
created when a packet is received and the actual gap length and last dts
is known.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769768
Stats should also be collected for unsuccessful packets.
rtx-rtt is very important for determining the necessary configured
latency on the jitterbuffer. It's especially important to be able to
increase the latency when retransmitted packets arrive too late and are
considered lost. This patch includes these late packets in the
calculation of the various rtx stats, making them more correct and
useful.
Also in the case where the original packet arrives after a NACK is sent,
the received RTX packet should update the stats since it provides useful
information about RTT.
The RTT is only updated if and only if all requested retranmissions are
received. That way the RTT is guaranteed to make sense. If not we don't
know which request the packet is a response to and the RTT may be bogus.
A consequence of this patch is that RTT is not updated for a request
when one of the RTX packets for that seqnum is lost, but that since
measured RTT will be more accurate.
The implementation store the RTX information from the timed out timers
and use this when the retransmitted packet arrives. For performance
these timers are stored separately from the "normal" timers in order to
not impact performance (see attached performance test).

Under certain conditions gst_rtp_buffer_get_payload() returns a copy of
the payload. In this case the payload modifications will not affect the
rtp buffer. So instead of modifying the payload buffer directly we
should modify the buffer that actually gets pushed on the adapter.
The functionality of all the tests was kept exactly the same. Some tests
were renamed:
test_push_forward_seq -> test_rtxsend_rtxreceive
test_drop_one_sender -> test_rtxsend_rtxreceive_with_packet_loss
test_drop_multiple_sender -> test_multi_rtxsend_rtxreceive_with_packet_loss
test_rtxreceive_data_reconstruction was testing that retransmitted
buffer produced by rtxsend was correctly transformed to the original
buffer by rtxreceive. Now we are checking for this in all the tests
where both rtxsend & rtxreceive are involved. That's why the test was
removed.

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
Need to set max-misorder-time and max-dropout-time to 0 so the
jitterbuffer does not base them on packet rate calculations.
If it does, out gap is big enough to be considered a new stream and
we wait for a few consecutive packets just to be sure

This is to handle cases where upstream handles the fragmented streaming in TIME
segments and sends us data with gaps within fragments. This would happen when dealing
with trick-modes.
When upstream (push-based, TIME SEGMENT) wishes to send discontinuous samples,
it must obey the following rules:
* The buffer containing the [moof] must have a valid GST_BUFFER_OFFSET
* The buffers containing the first sample after a gap:
* MUST start at the beginning of a sample,
* MUST have the DISCONT flag set,
* MUST have a valid GST_BUFFER_OFFSET relative to the beginning of the fragment.

Some endpoints (like Tandberg E20) can send BYE packet containing our
internal SSRC. I this case we would detect SSRC collision and get rid
of the source at some point. But because we are still sending packets
with that SSRC the source will be recreated immediately.
This brand new internal source will not have some variables incorrectly
set in its state. For example 'seqnum-base` and `clock-rate` values will be
-1.
The fix is not to act on BYE RTCP if it contains internal or unknown
SSRC.

Keeping the lock while emitting the stats signal introduces potential
deadlock in those situations when the signal callback wants the access

Avoid using soup_server_run_async and old get_port() APIs,
replace with me soup_server_listen and get the port through the
URIs list returned from the server.
When a packet arrives that has already been considered lost as part of a
large gap the "lost timer" for this will be cancelled. If the remaining
packets of this large gap never arrives, there will be missing entries
in the queue and the loop function will keep waiting for these packets
to arrive and never push another packet, effectively stalling the
pipeline.
The proposed fix conciders parts of a large gap definitely lost (since
they are calculated from latency) and ignores the late arrivals.
In practice the issue is rare since large gaps are scheduled immediately,
and for the stall to happen the late arrival needs to be processed
before this times out.

Making the event itself writable is not enough, it won't make
the actual taglist in the event writable as well. Instead, just
make a copy of the taglist and then create a new tag event from
that if required, replacing the old one. Before we would
inadvertently modify taglists upstream elements might still
be holding on to. Add unit test for this as well.

Set GSETTINGS_BACKEND=memory, apparently there's something
about fork() and the dconf backend (or whatever else that
drags in or activates) that messes up locking and causes
timeouts due to deadlocks in g_mutex_lock(), since
everything works fine with CK_FORK=no as well.
The code is supposed to follow somehow what the comment above says, that
is to have one channel with a wave of freq 440 and the other channel
with a wave of freq 880, but an off by one error results in frequencies
of 0 and 440.

This way we can use -1 as special value, which is nicer than MAXUINT.
This is backwards compatible even with the GValue API, as shown by

By not doing this, the muxer is not effectively a rtpmuxer, rather a
funnel, since it should be a single stream that exists the muxer.
If not specified, take the first ssrc seen on a sinkpad, allowing upstream
to decide ssrc in "passthrough" with only one sinkpad.
Also, let downstream ssrc overrule internal configured one
We hence has the following order for determining the ssrc used by
rtpmux:
0. Suggestion from GstRTPCollision event
1. Downstream caps
2. ssrc-Property
3. (First) upstream caps containing ssrc
4. Randomly generated

Avoid using default accept-caps handler that will query downstream
and is more expensive. Just check if the caps is compatible with
the template and check if the channels are the same.
The time of the first RTCP packet is semi-random, so
sometimes it was produced before enough packets from
the second SSRC were received. First drop queued RTCP
packets, then advance the clock enough to ensure
that at least one new RTCP packet is produced.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750731
The accept-caps query just does a shallow check at the current
element while at this test we want it to also look at downstream.

The RTP PT for alaw is 8.
Less than 50 packets are received in the length of this test so it
