In push mode (streaming), if the received chunk buffer size from _chain is bigger
than output buffer size, the flags of the divided-buffers are propagated to the
DISCONT flag from first received chunk buffer. This unexpected buffers contained DISCONT
flags are abnormally transformed when changing the sampling rate by audioresample element.
So unset unnecessary DISCONT flag before pad_push().

The information can be useful downstream in other situations too, and
we can compute a NTP time as soon as we get a sender report with the

When the sink is configured to create sockets with an explicit bind
address, then the created socket gets set to the udp_socket field
irregardless of whether the bind address indicated that the socket
family should be IPv4 or IPv6. When binding to an IPv6 address, this
results in the following error:
gstmultiudpsink.c:1285:gst_multiudpsink_configure_client:<rtcpsink>
error: Invalid address family (got 10)
This patch adds a check of the address family being bound to and sets
the created socket to used_socket or used_socket_v6, accordingly.

RFC 8216 6.3.3 "Playing the Media Playlist File" : states that for live media
playlists "the client SHOULD NOT choose a segment that starts less than three
target durations from the end of the Playlist file"
This is an off-by-one error. Since we are looking for the "index" of the
segment, we need to subtract 1 from the searched position.
Ex: For a playlist with 12 entries, we want to start playback on the 9th segment
... which is at index 8.

This provides new HLS, DASH and MSS adaptive demuxer elements as a single plugin.
These elements offer many improvements over the legacy elements. They will only
work within a streams-aware context (`urisourcebin`, `uridecodebin3`,
`decodebin3`, `playbin3`, ...).
Stream selection and buffering is handled internally, this allows them to
directly manage the elementary streams and stream selection.

Two RTP Header extensions are very relevant for rtprtxsend/receive.
1. "urn:ietf:params:rtp-hdrext:sdes:rtp-stream-id": will always be removed
2. "urn:ietf:params:rtp-hdrext:sdes:repaired-rtp-stream-id": will be written
instead of the "rtp-stream-id" header extension.
Currently it's only a simple replacement of one header extension for
another however a future change would only add the relevant extension
based on some heuristics (like, video frames only on one of the rtp key
frame buffers, or only until the rtx ssrc has been validated by the peer)
in order to reduce the required bandwidth.

Previously the result of the calculations included inaccuracies caused
by the NTP clock estimation, which caused the timestamps to jitter
+/- 1/clockrate.
By reorganizing the calculations it is possible to get rid of this
inaccuracy and calculate deterministic and exact packet timestamps based
on the actual NTP clock as long as the estimation is not off by more
than 2**31 clockrate units.
The only remaining inaccuracy that is introduced now is caused by the
conversion from the NTP clock to the pipeline clock.
Also split up debug output, demote many messages to the trace debug
level and output more intermediate results.

Add properties to control input cropping in the V4L2 device.
The input cropping is applied before composing the result to the
capture buffer. By default the capture size will be set to the same
size as the crop region, but it can be scaled to a different output
frame size if supported by the V4L2 device.
If scaling is not supported, the cropped image will
be composed as is into the top-left corner of the capture buffer.

When doing only a single stream of audio/video this hardly matters,
but when doing many at the same time, the fact that you have to get
a hold of the glib global type-system lock every time you process a buffer,
means that there is a limit to how many streams you can process in
parallel.
Luckily the fix is very simple, by doing a cast rather than a full
type-check.

When the size of V4L2 capture or output is changes with VIDIOC_S_FMT,
the device is only required to update the compisition window to fit
inside the new frame size. This can result in captured data only being

Update the composition window to the default value determined by the
V4L2 device driver whenever the format is changed to make sure that
all image data is composed to its full size.

3.the minimum number of buffers needed for decoding,
4.bit-depth of the bitstream has been changed.

Pull out peer caps checking code into gst_jpeg_turbo_parse_ext_fmt_convert().
This code is used by libjpeg-turbo extras to determine whether peer is capable
of handling buffers into which libjpeg-turbo can directly decode data. This
kind of check must be performed before jpeg_start_decompress() is called in
gst_jpeg_dec_prepare_decode() as well as in gst_jpeg_dec_negotiate(), hence
the common code.
This commit does modify the code a little to make it easier to call from both

This reverts commit 2aa2477208.
The commit is completely wrong, libjpeg-turbo is perfectly capable
of decoding I420 (YUV) to RGB. The test case provided alongside the
aforementioned commit passes without this revert because it decodes
image of JCS_YCrCb color space, so the new `if (clrspc == JCS_RGB)`
condition is false on that image, and the libjpeg-turbo decoding
does not get used. The real bug is hidden by that commit.
The real problem is in the call order of gst_jpeg_dec_prepare_decode()
and gst_jpeg_dec_negotiate(). The gst_jpeg_dec_prepare_decode() calls
jpeg_start_decompress() which sets up internal state of the libjpeg,
however, neither cinfo.out_color_space nor cinfo.raw_data_out are
set correctly yet. Those two are set up in gst_jpeg_dec_negotiate()
which is called a bit later. Therefore, the real fix is the set up
cinfo.out_color_space and cinfo.raw_data_out before calling
jpeg_start_decompress(). This is however a separate patch.

Starting with libsoup3, there is no attempt to handle thread safety
inside the library, and it was never considered fully safe before
either. Therefore, move all session handling into its own thread.
The libsoup thread has its own context and main loop. When some
request is made or a response needs to be read, an idle source
is created to issue that; the gstreamer thread issuing that waits
for that to be complete. There is a per-src condition variable to
deal with that.
Since the thread/loop needs to be longer-lived than the soup
session itself, a wrapper object is provided to contain them. The
soup session only has a single reference, owned by the wrapper
object.
It is no longer possible to force an external session, since this
does not seem to be used anywhere within gstreamer and would be
tricky to implement; this is because one would not have to provide
just a session, but also the complete thread arrangement made in
the same way as the system currently does internally, in order to
be safe.
Messages are still built gstreamer-side. It is safe to do so until
the message is sent on the session. Headers are also processed on
the gstreamer side, which should likewise be safe.
All requests as well as reads on the libsoup thread are issued
asynchronously. That allows libsoup to schedule things with as
little blocking as possible, and means that concurrent access
to the session is possible, when sharing the session.

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.
