otherwise we're going to
a) start Parser/Converter before they are linked to their capsfilter,
breaking their negotiation of a proper stream format
b) start demuxers without having connected to their pad-added signals. We
miss pads and in the worst case don't link any pads at all
... and if this fails for whatever reason we skip the element and instead
try with the next element. This allows us to handle elements that fail
when setting caps on them by just skipping to the next alternative element.
They might fail to go to PAUSED, and when connecting them further
we might already expose their srcpads on decodebin if we're unlucky.
This prevents us to handle failures going to PAUSED gracefully.
If the caps query returned us fixed caps this doesn't mean yet
that these caps are actually complete (fields might be missing).
It allows to do us some decisions, but the selection of the next
element should be delayed as only complete caps allow proper selection
of the next element.
Otherwise we might try to continue autoplugging e.g. for a specific
stream-format although the parser could convert to something else, thus giving
us potentially less options for decoders.
We can't convert to ANY capsfeatures, they are only there so that we
can passthrough whatever downstream can support... but we definitely
don't want to return them to upstream.
When playing RTSP streams there will be one decodebin per stream. If some of
them fail because of a missing plugin we should not fail completely but play
the supported streams at least.

Aggregate buffering messages to only post the lower value
to avoid setting pipeline to playing while any multiqueue
is still buffering.
There are 3 scenarios where the entries should be removed from
the list:
1) When decodebin is set to READY
2) When an element posts a 100% buffering (already implemented)
3) When a multiqueue is removed from decodebin.
For item 3 we don't need to handle it because this should only
happen when either 1 is hapenning or when it is playing a
chained file, for which number 2 should have happened for the
previous stream to finish

Otherwise we might end up inside the callback without having stored
the probe id... then try to remove that probe (not!) from the callback
and wait forever for the pad to unblock.
They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
This provides an audio-filter and video-filter property to allow
applications to set filter elements/bins. The idea is that these will
e
applied if possible -- for non-raw sinks, the filters will be skipped.
If the application wishes to force the application of the filters, this
can be done by setting the new flag introduced on playsink -
GST_PLAY_FLAG_FORCE_FILTERS.

2 seconds might be too small for some container formats, e.g.
MPEGTS with some video codec and AAC/ADTS audio with 700ms
long buffers. The video branch of multiqueue can run full while
the audio branch is completely empty, especially because there
are usually more queues downstream on the audio branch.
Usually these buffers are multiple seconds large, and having a maximum
of 5 buffers in the multiqueue there can use a lot of memory. Lower
this to 2 for adaptive streaming demuxers.
If we have the peer caps and a caps filter, return peer_caps +
intersect_first (filter, converter_caps) instead of
intersect_first (filter, peer_caps + converter_caps) and preservers
downstream caps preference order.

If we are using an adaptive stream demuxer, which outputs a non-container
stream, we are putting another multiqueue after the *parser* following
the adaptive stream demuxer. We do not want to add another instance of
the same parser right after this multiqueue.
Otherwise we will emit buffering messages not just from the last
multiqueue but also from previous multiqueues... confusing the
application with different percentages during pre-rolling.
For adaptive streaming demuxer we insert a multiqueue after
this demuxer. This multiqueue will get one fragment per buffer.
Now for the case where we have a container stream inside these
buffers, another demuxer will be plugged and after this second
demuxer there will be a second multiqueue. This second multiqueue
will get smaller buffers and will be the one emitting buffering
messages.
If we don't have a container stream inside the fragment buffers,
we'll insert a multiqueue below right after the next element after
the adaptive streaming demuxer. This is going to be a parser or
decoder, and will output smaller buffers.
Adaptive streams should download its data inside the demuxer, so
we want to use multiqueue's buffering messages to control the
pipeline flow and avoid losing sync if download rates are low;

Otherwise there's an interesting race condition when we destroy
the inputselector (actually it will be destroyed later when its state
change message gets destroyed) and afterwards release its sinkpad.
This is the code path when the last channel is removed from the
input selector.
Gave this warning sometimes, for chained oggs or whenever else
we change decode groups:
GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Padname '':sink_0 does not belong to element inputselector0 when removing
If the text pads does not go away we just set the overlay to silent, which
allows us to immediately re-enable subs later again. However before this
change we also released the streamsynchronizer text pads, which deadlocked
because there was still dataflow going on. Just do this only if we remove
the complete chain.
