To make the code clearer, and to facilitate future improvements, introduce
a distinction between the buffering level and the buffering percentage.
Buffering level: the queue's current fill level. The low/high watermarks
are in this range.
Buffering percentage: percentage relative to the low/high watermarks
(0% = low watermark, 100% = high watermark).
To that end, get_percentage() is renamed to get_buffering_level(). Also,
low/high_percent are renamed to low/high_watermark to avoid confusion.
mq->buffering_percent values are now normalized in the 0..100 range for
buffering messages inside update_buffering(), and not just before sending
the buffering message. Finally the buffering level range is parameterized
by adding a new constant called MAX_BUFFERING_LEVEL.

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
In ringbuffer mode we need to make sure we post buffering messages *before*
blocking to wait for data to be drained.
Without this, we would end up in situations like this:
* pipeline is pre-rolling
* Downstream demuxer/decoder has pushed data to all sinks, and demuxer thread
is blocking downstream (i.e. not pulling from upstream/queue2).
* Therefore pipeline has pre-rolled ...
* ... but queue2 hasn't filled up yet, therefore the application waits for
the buffering 100% messages before setting the pipeline to PLAYING
* But queue2 can't post that message, since the 100% message will be posted
*after* there is room available for that last buffer.

Other pads that are waiting for the stream on the selected
pad to advance before they finish waiting themselves
should be given the chance to do so when the selected pad
goes EOS. Fixes problems where input streams can end up
waiting forever if the active stream goes EOS earlier than
their own end time.
When dealing with small-ish input data coming into queue2, such as
adaptivedemux fragments, we would never take into account the last
<200ms of data coming in.
The problem is that usually on TCP connection the download rate
gradually increases (i.e. the rate is lower at the beginning of a
download than it is later on). Combined with small download time (less
than a second) we would end up with a computed average input rate
which was sometimes up to 30-50% off from the *actual* average input
rate for that fragment.
In order to fix this, force the average input rate calculation when
we receive an EOS so that we take into account that final window
of data.

multiqueue: Fix not-linked pad handling at EOS
While that commit did fix the behaviour if upstream sent a GST_EVENT_EOS,
it would break the same issue when *downstream* returns GST_FLOW_EOS
(which can happen for example when downstream decoders receive data
from after the segment stop).
GST_PAD_IS_EOS() is only TRUE when a GST_EVENT_EOS has flown through it
and not when a GST_EVENT_EOS has gone through it.
In order to handle both cases, also take into account the last flow
return.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763770
When syncing by running time, multiqueue will throttle unlinked streams
based on a global "high-time" and the pending "next_time" of a stream.
The idea is that we don't want unlinked streams to be "behind" the global
running time of linked streams, so that if/when they get linked (like when
switching tracks) decoding/playback can resume from the same position as
the other streams.
The problem is that it assumes elements downstream will have a more or less
equal buffering/latency ... which isn't the case for streams of different
type. Video decoders tend to have higher latency (and therefore consume more
from upstream to output a given decoded frame) compared to audio ones, resulting
in the computed "high_time" being at the position of the video stream,
much further than the audio streams.
This means the unlinked audio streams end up being quite a bit after the linked
audio streams, resulting in gaps when switching streams.
In order to mitigate this issue, this patch adds a new "group-id" pad property
which allows users to "group" streams together. Calculating the high-time will
now be done not only globally, but also per group. This ensures that within
a given group unlinked streams will be throttled by that group's high-time
instead.
This fixes gaps when switching downstream elements (like switching audio tracks).
Ensure we do not attempt to destroy the current range. Doing so
causes the current one to be left dangling, and it may be dereferenced
later, leading to a crash.
This can happen with a very small queue2 ring buffer (10000 bytes)
and 4 kB buffers.

gst-launch-1.0 fakesrc sizetype=2 sizemax=4096 ! \
queue2 ring-buffer-max-size=1000 ! fakesink sync=true

This patch handle the case when you have 1 pad (so the fast path is

The other signal handlers of the type-found signal might have reactivated

Basically, sq->max_size.visible is never increased for sparse streams in
overruncb when empty queue has been found;
If the queue is sparse it just skip the entire logic determining whether
max_size.visible should be increased, deadlocking the demuxer.
What should be done instead is that when determining if limits have been
reached, to ignore time for sparse streams, as the buffer may be far in the
future.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765736
This ensures the following special case is handled properly:
1. Queue is empty
2. Data is pushed, fill level is below the current high-threshold
3. high-threshold is set to a level that is below the current fill level
Since mq->percent wasn't being recalculated in step #3 properly, this
caused the multiqueue to switch off its buffering state when new data is
pushed in, and never post a 100% buffering message. The application will
have received a <100% buffering message from step #2, but will never see
100%.
Fix this by recalculating the current fill level percentage during
high-threshold property changes in the same manner as it is done when
use-buffering is modified.

It causes deadlocks in decodebin, which currently would deadlock if the caps
are already on the pad in have-type and are forwarded while copying the sticky

element to expose pads, which then calls back into decodebin and takes the
decodebin lock.
This needs some more thoughts.

segment.position is meant for internal usage only, but the various
GST_EVENT_SEGMENT creationg/parsing functions won't clear that field.
Use the appropriate segment boundary as an initial value instead
When synchronizing the output by time, there are some use-cases (like
allowing gapless playback downstream) where we want the unlinked streams
to stay slightly behind the linked streams.
The "unlinked-cache-time" property allows the user to specify by how
much time the unlinked streams should wait before pushing again.
Multiqueue should only be used to cope with:
* decoupling upstream and dowstream threading (i.e. having separate threads
for elementary streams).
* Ensuring individual queues have enough space to cope with upstream interleave
(distance in stream time between co-located samples). This is to guarantee
that we have enough room in each individual queues to provide new data in
each, without being blocked.
* Limit the queue sizes to that interleave distance (and an extra minimal
buffering size). This is to ensure we don't consume too much memory.
Based on that, multiqueue now continuously calculates the input interleave
(per incoming streaming thread). Based on that, it calculates a target
interleave (currently 1.5 x real_interleave + 250ms padding).
If the target interleave is greater than the current max_size.time, it will
update it accordingly (to allow enough margin to not block).
If the target interleave goes down by more than 50%, we re-adjust it once
we know we have gone past a safe distance (2 x current max_size.time).
This mode can only be used for incoming streams that are guaranteed to be
properly timestamped.
Furthermore, we ignore sparse streams when calculating interleave and maximum
size of queues.
For the simplest of use-cases (single stream), multiqueue acts as a single
queue with a time limit of 250ms.
If there are multiple inputs, but each come from a different streaming thread,
the maximum time limit will also end up being 250ms.
On regular files (more than one input stream from the same upstream streaming
thread), it can reduce the total memory used as much as 10x, ending up with
max_size.time around 500ms.
Due to the adaptive nature, it can also cope with changing interleave (which
can happen commonly on some files at startup/pre-roll time)
This will mean a much lower delay before a subtitles track changes take
effect. Also avoids excessive memory usage in many cases.
This will also consider sparse streams as (individually) never full, so
as to avoid blocking all playback due to one sparse stream.

* Avoid the computation completely if we know we don't need it (not in
sync time mode)
* Make sure we don't override highest time with GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE on
unlinked pads
* Ensure the high_time gets properly updated if all pads are not linked
* Fix the comparision in the loop whether the target high time is the same
as the current time
* Split wake_up_next_non_linked method to avoid useless calculation

When preparing a buffering message, don't report 0% if there
is any bytes left in the queue at all. We still have something
to push, so don't tell the app to start buffering - maybe
we'll get more data before actually running dry.
Sometimes filesink cleanup during stop may fail due to fclose error.
In this case object left partial cleanup with no file opened
but still holding old file descriptor.
It's not possible to change location property in a such state,
so next start will cause old file overwrite if 'append' does not set.
According to man page and POSIX standard about fclose behavior(extract):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fclose() function shall cause the stream pointed to by stream
to be flushed and the associated file to be closed.
...
Whether or not the call succeeds, the stream shall be disassociated
from the file and any buffer set by the setbuf() or setvbuf()
function shall be disassociated from the stream.
...
The fclose() function shall perform the equivalent of a close()
on the file descriptor that is associated with the stream
pointed to by stream.
After the call to fclose(), any use of stream results
in undefined behavior.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So file is in 'closed' state no matter if fclose succeed or not.
And cleanup could be continued.

Previously this code was just blindly setting the cached flow return
of downstream to GST_FLOW_OK when we get a SEGMENT.
The problem is that this can not be done blindly. If downstream was
not linked, the corresponding sinqlequeue source pad thread might be
waiting for the next ID to be woken up upon.
By blindly setting the cached return value to GST_FLOW_OK, and if that
stream was the only one that was NOT_LINKED, then the next time we
check (from any other thread) to see if we need to wake up a source pad
thread ... we won't even try, because none of the cached flow return
are equal to GST_FLOW_NOT_LINKED.
This would result in that thread never being woken up

This property avoids not linked error when all the pads are unlinked

Using (!self->eos || self->blocked) && ... as the loop condition would

Since blocking is obsolete, gst_input_selector_wait will get removed anyway.

When comparing percentage values, compare with 0-100 scale as it
