In order to allow for proper functionality when a decoder only supports
one instance at a time (dsp), we must block the demuxer pads when they
get created if they are not part of the active group, preventing buffers
from being sent to the decoder (and initializing it through setcaps),
then after we switch to a new group, we unblock the demuxer pads for
the active groups. In the callback for the unblock, we prune the old
groups, making sure the previous decoder instance is destroyed before
we push a buffer to the new instance.
Since caps are no longer 'shared' between two pads (but forwarded from
source pad to sink pad) we end up with the first chain pad not having
specified caps (i.e. typefind:src).
This solves the issues by getting the pad's peer caps.
It is not optimal since it will (for most demuxers) return the pad
template caps, which might contain non-fixed caps (ex : with
qtdemux "video/quicktime; video/mj2; audio/x-m4a; application/x-3gp")

... to also properly indicate chain's endpad if no elements are in the
chain (due to the endpad being a raw demuxer pad, or one setup without
decoders since uridecodebin or higher up decided not to need those).
Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We'll change these
over to the new API once we depend on glib >= 2.32.
Replace g_thread_create() with g_thread_try_new().
After preroll the multiqueue limits are still set to the preroll
limits if use-buffering is set to TRUE. In that case we only want
time limits on the multiqueue if upstream is seekable.
Such streams were detected as seekable, as the query on the typefind
element was testing the m3u8 file listing the actual streams, and
not going through the demuxer(s).
We now check for seekability for each multiqueue following a demuxer,
so the query will flow through the elements which might prevent seeking.

This allows us to easily get ahold of all pads on a stream-topology message, including
pre-decoder ones, while "pad" only gives us access to the raw pads (as used by discoverer).
This is made possible by filtering errors. This is required to let
harware accelerated element query the video context. The video context
is used to determine if the HW is capable, and thus if the element is
supported or not.
Fixes bug #662330.
With unfixed caps we can't reliably decide if the final caps
are going to be "raw" (e.g. supported by a sink) or not.
We will get here again later when the caps are fixed.
If subdrained isn't initialized to FALSE then a chain might think
that its group is drained when in fact it's not and this can cause
a switch too early or even cause a deadlock.
g_value_get_object() does not give us our own ref.
Fixes "Trying to dispose object "flacparse", but it still has a parent "registry0".
You need to let the parent manage the object instead of unreffing the object directly."
and similar warnings.
