This function is static, and only ever called with the expose lock
taken. It thus has no reason to take this lock itself.
This was introduced by one of my locking fixes from 741355.

Check if dbin->decode_chain is NULL before running drain_and_switch_chains()
because if it is, we shouldn't run that function or it will segfault.
CID #1271074
Otherwise if there are multiple parsers we would most likely break negotiation
of the stream-format/alignment wanted by the decoders as parsers generally
support all possible stream-formats and alignments.
If caps on a newly added pad are NULL, analyze_new_pad will try to
acquire the chain lock to add a probe to the pad so the chain can
be built later. This comes from the streaming thread, in response
to headers or other buffers causing this pad to be added, so the
stream lock is taken.
Meanwhile, another thread might be destroying the chain from a
downward state change. This will cause the chain to be freed with
the chain lock taken, and some elements are set to NULL here, which
can include the parser. This causes pad deactivation, which tries
to take the element's pad's stream lock, deadlocking.
Fix this by keeping track of which elements need setting to NULL,
and only do this after the chain lock is released. Only the chain
manipulation needs to be locked, not the elements' state changes.

There was a deadlock between a thread changing decodebin/demuxer
state from PAUSED to READY, and another thread pushing data
when starting.
From the stack trace at
https://bug741355.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=292471,
I deduce the following is happening, though I did not reproduce the
problem so I'm not sure this patch fixes it.
The streaming thread (thread 2 in that stack trace) takes the demuxer's
sink pad's stream lock in gst_ogg_demux_perform_seek_pull and will
activate a new chain. This ends up causing the expose lock being taken
in _pad_added_cb in decodebin.
Meanwhile, a state changed is triggered on thread 1, which takes the
expose lock in decodebin in gst_decode_bin_change_state, then frees
the previous chain, which ends up calling gst_pad_stop_task on the
demuxer's task, which in turn takes the demuxer's sink pad's stream
lock, deadlocking as both threads are now waiting for each other.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741355
Also improve the waiting condition for stream switches, which was assuming
before that the condition variable will only stop waiting once when it is
signaled. But the documentation says that there might be spurious wakeups.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736655
Change the GAP events that are currently sent from the chain function of
the current pad to all other EOS pads. They should instead be sent from
their own streaming threads.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736655
Wait in the event function when EOS is received until all pads are EOS
and then forward the EOS event from each pads own event function.
Also send a new GAP event for EOS pads from the event function whenever
going from PLAYING->PAUSED by shortly waking up the GCond. This is needed
to allow sinks to pre-roll again, as they did not receive EOS yet because
we blocked that, but also will never get data again.

Consider pipeline: gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=http://example.com/a.ogg
Consider 128kbit audio stream.
As soon as uridecodebin detects the bitrate, it configures its input
queue2 max-size to 32000 bytes.
The 2MB buffer in multiqueue is nearly 2 orders of magnitude bigger.
This non-deterministically drives queue2 buffer anywhere from
100% to 0% until multiqueue is filled.
This patch sets multiqueue size to 5 buffers early in no_more_pads_cb.
Partly reverts commit db771185ed.

Decodebin has already added the element to the bin and should only
select caps compatible pads. It should disable the pad link checks
to avoid doing those again.

Create a function to do the pad cleanup of the GstSourceCombine struct
and use it to not forget to also cleanup the sink pad and fix a memory
leak.

Before we were setting them to PAUSED and (much) later connecting to
their source pad caps notify signal.
There was a race where that demuxer was pushing a caps and later a buffer
on its source pad when we were not even connected to its source pad caps notify
signal leading to decodebin missing the information and not keeping on
building the pipeline on CAPS event thus the demuxer was posting an ERROR
(not linked) message on the bus. This need to be done for 'simple
demuxers' because those have one ALWAYS source pad, not like usual demuxers
that have several dynamic source pads.
A "simple demuxer" is a demuxer that has one and only one ALWAYS source
pad.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740693
There was a race where:
1) we would put the element to PAUSED
2) It would get data sent to it from upstream
3) It would thus send caps
3) caps_notify_cb would continue autoplugging
4) caps would flow downstream, the last pad would get exposed
5) we were still not done sending the sticky events
Taking the stream lock on the new element's sinkpad and only
releasing it when sticky events have all been sent prevents
the caps from reaching the source pad of the element before
we're all set.

Otherwise the following can happen:
1. set mute=true
2. play media1 (Ok)
3. play media without audio (audiochain removed)
4. play media2 (audiochain created, mute=*false*)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740675
If there are two parser elements available for the same media format,
then decodebin is autoplugging an extra capsfilter and parser irrespective
of caps and rank. So restrict the decodebin from autoplugging multiple parser
elements back to back in adjacent positions with in a single DecodeChain
for the same media format.

The "iradio-mode" property used to have a default FALSE value in HTTP
source elements but now it should default to TRUE or just do not exist
as a property so it is not really needed to set it any more in
uridecodebin.
Apart from that this code could've never worked as uridecodebin looks for a
string-typed iradio-mode property, but it's a boolean in all sources.

audioresample and videoscale is something the application will have to do if
required, but we can at least help here by adding the
audioconvert/videoconvert elements.

When switching URI from about-to-finish, playbin starts decoding the new
URI and the queue2 inside uridecodebin starts emitting buffering messages
immediately. However, the queue(s) inside playsink still have buffers to
play and the pipeline doesn't need to pause for buffering, so we should
not send those buffering messages up to the application, otherwise there
is an audible glitch caused by pausing the pipeline for a very short time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727255
If we had plugins and an error occurred we only include the error message
caused by this, otherwise we will include the codec description as generated
from the caps.
This allows to detect which exact codec was missing instead of getting a
generic "no suitable decoders found" error message.
