Enabling passthorugh mode is causing multiple issue:
For nal aligned multiresoluton streams, passthrough mode
make h264parse unable to advertise the new resoultions.
Also causing issues while parsing MVC streams which have two
separate layers (base-view and non-base-view).
This fix is only a temporary workaround.
For MVC, proper fixes needed in many places:
(handle prefix nal unit, handle non-base-view slice nal extension,
fix the picture_start detection for multi-layer-mvc streams etc)

Since commit b77f8e172a the new value
assigned to mview_mode hasn't been used. That commit changed the following
"if" check to an "else if", which means the original value of mview_mode
is used.
When converting from avc to byte-stream, there will not be any codec_data
in the src caps. Remove it before the equality check to avoid sending caps
events downstream on every SPS/PPS change.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761014
If we have a stream that contains an unchanging SPS/PPS for every video frame,
we don't need to to constantly query downstream for it's supported caps if the
current caps are compatible with the negotiated caps.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761014
This is to support byte-stream decoder that does not remember the
PPS/SPS after a flush. This is not needed by all decoders, but is
harmless for those that do remember.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758405
As it's recursive, gst_pad_get_allowed_caps() may also return
empty for anything incompatible downstream. EMPTY is not valid caps
value for gst_caps_fixate(). This lead to assertion and then crash.
Ideally, the negotiate function should be re-factored to have a return
value, and we could make the negotiation fails earlier.

The SPS struct might be filled out by a call to
gst_h264_parser_parse_subset_sps, which fills out
dynamically allocated data and requires a call
to gst_h264_sps_clear() to free it. Also make sure
to clear out any allocated SPS data when returning
an error.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753306
Don't throw away AU delimiter(s) that precede the SPS/PPS. Should
fix MPEG-TS playback on iOS/Quicktime when muxing streams that
already have AU delimiters.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736213 for getting
h264parse to insert AU delimiters when they don't already
exist.
Move the pixel-aspect-ratio calculations higher up in caps
determination, so the results are available for a call to
gst_video_multiview_guess_half_aspect() when stereoscopic video
is detected.
Wait until at least one keyframe has been parsed before
deciding to switch to passthrough mode, in case the
stream contains SEI messages that supplement the output
caps - for example by providing stereoscopic information
Like SPS/PPS they do contain information which will be needed to
decode the following data (as per definition of the flag)
Also ensures that the series of SPS/PPS/SEI NALU before a keyframe
can be considered as one contiguous header
Don't use the apis in codec-utils to extract the profile and level
syntax elements since it is wrong if there are emulation prevention
bytes existing in the byte-stream data.

The detection for missing format/alignment is done way before this
codepath is reached (at which point we have already decided of a
format and alignment).
CID #1232800
This prevents it from going into passthrough after receiving 2
byte-stream caps (different ones) as it would keep the have_pps and
have_sps set to true and would just go into passthrough without
updating its caps.
This patch makes it reset its stream information to restart properly
when new caps are received.

This patch calls gst_h264_parser_parse_subset_sps() when a
SPS subset NAL type is found.
All the bits required for parsing the SPS subset in NALs were
already there, just we need to call them when the this NAL type
is found.
With this parsing, the number of views (minus 1) attribute is
filled, which was a requirement for negotiating the stereo-high
profile.

Some video bitstreams report a too restrictive set of profiles. If a video
decoder was to strictly follow the indicated profile, it wouldn't support that
stream, whereas it could in theory and in practice. So we should relax the
profile restriction for allowing the decoder to get connected with parser.

Or not negotiated in the case we would be actually not negotiated
Currently we are getting assertions from
gst_pb_utils_add_codec_description_to_tag_list because of NULL

Do more elaborate validation of the input caps: what fields
are required and/or not allowed. Don't assume AVC3 format
input without codec_data field is byte-stream format. Fix
up some now-unreachable code (CID 1232800).
It should try to use bytestream in these cases that the format
is set to _FORMAT_NONE as it seems that is what the 'else' clause
for bytestream can handle (by defaulting to _FORMAT_BYTESTREAM).
Always use a GstAdapter when collecting access units (alignment="au")
in either byte-stream or avcC format. This is required to properly
preserve config headers like SPS and PPS when invalid or broken NAL
units are subsequently parsed.
More precisely, this fixes scenario like:
<SPS> <PPS> <invalid-NAL> <slice>
where we used to reset the output frame buffer when an invalid or
broken NAL is parsed, i.e. SPS and PPS NAL units were lost, thus
preventing the next slice unit to be decoded, should this also
represent any valid data.

Carefully track cases when skipping broken or invalid NAL units is
necessary. In particular, always allow NAL units to be processed
and let that gst_h264_parse_process_nal() function decide on whether
the current NAL needs to be dropped or not.
This fixes parsing of streams with SEI NAL buffering_period() message
inserted between SPS and PPS, or SPS-Ext NAL following a traditional
SPS NAL unit, among other cases too.
Practical examples from the H.264 AVC conformance suite include
alphaconformanceG, CVSE2_Sony_B, CVSE3_Sony_H, CVSEFDFT3_Sony_E
when parsing in stream-format=byte-stream,alignment=au mode.

Improve parser state tracking by introducing new flags reflecting
it: "got-sps", "got-pps" and "got-slice". This is an addition for
robustness purposes.
Older have_sps and have_pps variables are kept because they have
a different meaning. i.e. they are used for deciding on when to
submit updated caps or not, and rather mean "have new SPS/PPS to
be submitted?"

Use gst_h264_parser_identify_nalu_unchecked() to identify the next
NAL unit. We don't want to parse the full NAL unit, but only the
header bytes and possibly the first RBSP byte for identifying the
first_mb_in_slice syntax element.
Also fix check for failure when returning from that function. The
only success condition for that is GST_H264_PARSER_OK, so use it.

The gst_h264_parse_pps() function dynamically allocates the slice
group ids map array, so that needs to be cleared before parsing a
new PPS NAL unit again, or when it is no longer needed.
Likewise, a clean copy to the internal NAL parser state needs to be
performed so that to avoid a double-free corruption.

The recovery point SEI message helps a decoder in determining if the
decoding process would produce acceptable pictures for display after
the decoder initiates random access or after the encoder indicates
a broken link in the coded video sequence.
This is not used in the h264parse element, but it could help debugging.

It is not perfect but it allows us to be sure that the mandatory 'framerate'
field is present in the caps.
