Since the move from CVS the property name of the documentation example
has been filename instead of location. Users trying the gst-launch
command as is will get:
no property name "filename" in element
Fixing it.
Use GQueue instead of a GSList so we don't have to traverse
the whole list to append something every time. And it also
keeps track of the number of items in it for us.
Add a function to add filenames to the list of old files and
use it in more places, so that memory doesn't build up in
other modes either if no max_files limit is specified.

Technically we weren't leaking the memory, just storing it internally
and never using it until the element is freed. But we'd still use more
and more memory over time, so this is not good over longer periods
of time. Only keep track of files if there's actually a limit set,
so that we will prune the list from time to time.

This reverts commit f1ceaab02f.
This broke atomic file writes in "buffer" mode. It did make
sure that any streamheaders are prepended to each file in
buffer mode as well, but that's not really needed in practice,
whereas atomic file writes are, so let's restore the status
quo ante for now since this was primarily a code cleanup anyway,
and if anyone needs to streamheaders in buffer mode too they
can make a patch to implement that differently. Re-implementing
the atomic writes in the element also seems way too much work.

If we have an error during fwrite call, file stays open and thus next
incoming buffer will trigger an assert when trying to opening a new
file.
This happens if we do not restart element, file is closed at stop, and
if application handles the returned GST_FLOW_ERROR to keep bin alive.

This new mode ensures that files will never exceed a certain duration
based on incoming buffer PTS (and duration if present)
Note:
* You need timestamped buffers (duh). If some of the incoming buffers don't
have PTS, then it will just accept them in the current file
This property can be used in combination with next-file=max-size
(and perhaps a future next-file=max-duration) to make sure that
each file part starts cleanly with a key frame and the appropriate headers.
In order for this property to work correctly, upstream elements should make
sure than any headers that need to be written in a standalone file are:
1) in the streamheader caps field
2) and/or in the stream as one or more buffers marked with GST_BUFFER_FLAG_HEADER
that are just before the keyframe buffer
This is useful for MPEG-TS/MPEG-PS file segmenting in
combination with mpegtsmux or mpegpsmux.
Original patch by: Tim-Philipp Müller <tim@centricular.com>
When multifilesink is operating in any mode other than one file
per buffer, the last file created won't have a file message posted
as multifilesink doesn't handle the EOS event.
This patch fixes it by using the last position to post a file
message when EOS is received. This should ensure at least the
time related data and the filename are posted to the application
or other elements

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.
We assume for now that all buffers in a buffer list
should end up in the same file (so we can group GOPs
in buffer lists, for example). Could optimise this
a bit to avoid the memcpy.
