It is an extremely common mistake on Windows to have incorrect PATH
values when loading a plugin, and the error from g_module_error()
(which just calls FormatMessageW()) is very confusing in this case:
The specified module could not be found.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/system-error-codes--0-499-#ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND
It implies the plugin itself could not be found. The actual issue is
that a DLL dependency could not be found. We need to detect this case
and print a more useful error message.
We should still print the error fetched from FormatMessage() so that
people are able to google for it.

If the `area_surface` got unmapped when changing to the `READY` or
`NULL` state, we currently don't remap it when playback resumes and
`wp_viewporter` is supported. Without `wp_viewporter` we do remap
it, but rather unintentionally and also when not wanted.
On Weston this has not been a big problem as it so far wrongly maps
subsurfaces of unmapped surfaces anyway - i.e. only the black
background was missing on resume. On other compositors and future
Weston this prevents the `video_surface` to get remapped.
Shuffle things around to ensure `area_surface` is mapped in the
right situations and do some minor cleanup.

The later, doing damage in surface coordinates instead of buffer
coordinates, has been deprecated. The reason for that is that it
is more prone to bugs, both on the client and the compositor side,
especially when paired with buffer scale, `wp_viewporter` or
buffer transforms.
Unfortunately, on Weston this risks running into
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/issues/446
(which causes trouble for several other projects as well). However,
that bug only affects cases where we run in sync mode, i.e. only
during resizes. In practise I haven't been able to observe the
issue.

Each time we call `wl_surface_damage()` we want to do full surface
damage. Like Mesa, just use `G_MAXINT32` to ensure we always do
full damage, reducing the need to track the right dimensions.
`window->video_rectangle` is now unused, but we keep it around for
now as we may need it again in the future.

From the spec:
> This request is used to describe the regions where the pending
> buffer is different from the current surface contents
We currently also call `wl_surface_damage()` on surfaces without
new or still compositor-hold buffers, e.g. when resizing the window.
In that case we call it on `area_surface_wrapper`, even though it
gets resized via `wp_viewport_set_destination()`, in which case
the compositor is in charge of repainting the area on screen.
Doing so is currently not forbidden by the spec, however it might
be in the future, see
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/issues/267
Thus lets stay close to the spec and only call `wl_surface_damage()`
when we just attached a buffer.
Right now this prevents runtime assertions in Mutter.

`gst_wl_window_set_opaque` does not get called on window resizes,
potentially leaving opaque regions too small.

surfaces will always be covered.

Sometimes we can't output anything because we don't have enough
incoming frames. In that case, the resampler was trying to call
do_quantize() and do_resample() in a loop forever because there would
never be samples to output (so chain->samples would always be NULL).
Fix this by not calling chain->make_func() in a loop -- seems
completely unnecessary since calling it over and over won't change
anything if the make_func() can't output samples.
Also add some checks for the input and / or output being NULL when
doing conversion or quantization. This will happen when we have
nothing to output.
We can't bail early, because we need resampler->samples_avail to be
updated in gst_audio_resampler_resample(), so we must call that and
no-op everything along the way.

When the image is opaque but the output ProRes format has an alpha
component (4 component, 32 bits per pixel), Apple requires that we
signal that it should be ignored by setting the depth to 24 bits per
pixel. Not doing so causes the encoded files to fail validation.
So we set that in the caps and qtmux sets the depth value in the
container, which will be read by demuxers so that decoders can skip
those bytes entirely. qtdemux does this, but vtdec does not use this
information at present.

Prior to this patch, we considered that a stream was blocking
whenever a pad probe was triggered for either the RTP pad or
the RTCP pad.
This led to situations where we subsequently unblocked and expected
to find a segment on the RTP pad, which was racy.
Instead, we now only consider that the stream is blocking when
the pad probe for the RTP pad has triggered with a blockable object
(buffer, buffer list, gap event).
The RTCP pad is simply blocked without affecting the state of the
stream otherwise.

When using playbin3, it seems that the alpha decode is always first to
push caps and run an allocation query. As the format change from sink

which makes the decoder thinks there is no GstVideoMeta downstream and

The `gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_dqbuf` function contains this ominous comment:
/* get our GstBuffer with that index from the pool, if the buffer was
* outstanding we have a serious problem.
*/
outbuf = pool->buffers[group->buffer.index];
Unfortunately it is common for buffers in _output_ buffer pools to be
both queued and outstanding at the same time. This can happen if the
upstream element keeps a reference to the buffer, or in an encoder
element itself when it keeps a reference to the input buffer for each
frame.
Since the current code doesn't handle this case properly we can end up
with crashes in other elements such as:
(gst-launch-1.0:32559): CRITICAL **: 17:33:35.740: gst_video_frame_map_id: assertion 'GST_IS_BUFFER (buffer)' failed
and:
(gst-launch-1.0:231): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 00:16:20.882: write map requested on non-writable buffer
Both these crashes are caused by a race condition related to releasing
the same buffer twice from two different threads. If a buffer is queued
and outstanding this situation is possible:
**Thread 1**
- Calls `gst_buffer_unref` decrementing the reference count to zero.
- The core GstBufferPool object marks the buffer non-outstanding.
- Calls the V4L2 release buffer function.
- If the buffer is _not_ queued:
- Release it back to the free pool (containing non-queued buffers).
**Thread 2**
- Dequeues the queued output buffer.
- Marks the buffer as not queued.
- If the buffer is _not_ outstanding:
- Calls the V4L2 release buffer function.
- Release it back to the free pool (containing non-queued buffers).
If both of these threads run at exactly the same time there is a small
window where the buffer is marked both not outstanding and not queued
but before it has been released. In this case the buffer will be freed
twice causing the above crashes.
Unfortunately the variable recording whether a buffer is outstanding is
part of the core `GstBuffer` object and is managed by `GstBufferPool` so
it's not as straightforward as adding a mutex. Instead we can fix this
by additionally recording the buffer state in `GstV4l2BufferPool`, and
handle "internal" and "external" buffer release separately so we can
detect when a buffer becomes not outstanding.
In the new solution:
- The "external" buffer pool release and the "dqbuf" functions
atomically update the buffer state and determine if a buffer is still
queued or outstanding.
- Subsequent code and a new
`gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_complete_release_buffer` function can proceed to
release (or not) a buffer knowing that it's not racing with another
thread.

The pipeline flow for receiving looks like this:
rtpsession ! rtpssrcdemux ! session_fec_decoder ! rtpjitterbuffer ! \
rtpptdemux ! stream_fec_decoder ! ...
There are two places where a fec decoder could be placed.
1. As requested from the 'request-fec-decoder' signal: after rtpptdemux
for each ssrc/pt produced
2. after rtpssrcdemux but before rtpjitterbuffer: added for the
rtpst2022-1-fecenc/dec elements,
However, there was some cross-contamination of the elements involved and
the request-fec-decoder signal was also being used to request the fec
decoder for the session_fec_decoder which would then be cached and
re-used for subsequent fec decoder requests. This would cause the same
element to be attempted to be linked to multiple elements in different
places in the pipeline. This would fail and cause all kinds of havoc
usually resulting in a not-linked error being returned upstream and an
error message being posted by the source.
Fix by not using the request-fec-decoder signal for requesting the
session_fec_decoder and instead solely rely on the added properties for
that case.

The average_period should always represent the time between two
events. The specification defines the event time as the time
between audio samples, video frame sync, video line sync, etc.
In case of one timestamp per PDU the timestamp_interval identifies
the amount of events between the timestamp of one PDU and the
timestamp of the next PDU.
As described in IEEE 1722-2016 chapter
"10.4.12 timestamp_interval field" timestamp_interval shall be
nonzero.

The failure conditions can be overidden by subclasses, and a boolean
return value is provided to the caller whether adding/removing the child
element has actually worked. The caller can then handle this
accordingly but flooding stderr with this is not very useful.
