Enhance default_reset_buffer() to resize the buffer to its full size if the
memory hasn't changed. This allows to reuse the buffer even if the offset has
changed or the size has shrunk, rather than freeing the buffer.

Use g_object_new() instead which nowadays has a shortcut for the
no-properties check. It still does an extra GType check in the
function guard, but there's a pending patch to remove that
and it's hardly going to be a performance issue in practice,
even less so on a system that's compiled without run-time checks.
Alternative would be to move to the new g_object_new_properties()
with a fallback define for older glib versions, but it makes the
code look more unwieldy and doesn't seem worth it.
Fixes deprecation warnings when building against newer GLib versions.

Especially if multiple threads are waiting for buffers to be available again,
the current code was wrong. Fix this and document clearly how the GstPoll is
supposed to be used.
Also fix some potential races with reading from the GstPoll before writing
actually happened.

Updated the GST_REFCOUNTING logging so that it includes the pointer
address of the object that is being disposed or finalized.
With this change is is then possible to match up GST_REFCOUNTING log messages
for object allocation/disposal/finalization. This can help with diagnosing
"memory leaks" in applications that have not correctly disposed of all the
GStreamer objects it creates.

When allocating a new buffer in the pool, both the do_alloc_buffer() and the
vmethod, alloc_buffer(), receive the parameter GstBufferPoolAcquireParams.
Nonetheless, when default_acquire_buffer() calls the do_alloc_buffer() it does
not pass the received GstBufferPoolAcquireParams, so when the user pass those
parameters they are ignored by alloc_buffer() vmethod.
This one-liner patch pass the received acquire params to do_alloc_buffer().

Don't stop the pool in set_config(). Instead, let the controlling
element manage it. Most of the time, when an active pool is being
configured is because the caps didn't change.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745377
Pools are allowed to change the size in order to adapt padding. So
don't check the size. Normally pool will change the size without
failing set_config(), but it they endup changing the size before
the validate method may fail on a false positive.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741420
default_alloc_buffer() calls gst_buffer_new_allocate() but does not check for
failed allocation.
This patch makes default_alloc_buffer() return an error (GST_FLOW_ERROR) if
buffer allocation fails.

Currently there is no other way to unlock a buffer pool other then
stopping it. This may have the effect of freeing all the buffers,
which is too heavy for a seek. This patch add a method to enter and
leave flushing state. As a convenience, flush_start/flush_stop
virtual are added so pool implementation can also unblock their own
internal poll atomically with the rest of the pool. This is fully
backward compatible with doing stop/start to actually flush the pool
(as being done in GstBaseSrc).

When we call gst_buffer_pool_set_config() the pool may return FALSE and
slightly change the parameters. This helper is useful to do the minial required
validation before accepting the modified configuration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727916
According to the documentation, when set_config() return false, it should be
possible to read the modified version of the config. This patch fixes the
implementation so it is now according to the documentation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727916
If a pool config is being configured again, check if the configuration have changed.
If not, skip that step. Finally, if the pool is active, try deactivating it.

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.
Currently we set TAG_MEMORY as soon a resize changes the size of one
of the memory. This has the side effect that buffer pool cannot know if
the memory have simply been resized, or if the memorys has been replaced.
This make it hard to actually implement _reset(). Instead, only set the
TAG_MEMORY if one or more memory has been replaced, and do a light
sanity check of the size.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727109
Tag allocated buffers with TAG_MEMORY. When they are released later,
only add them back to the pool if the tag is still there and the memory
has not been changed, otherwise throw the buffer away.
Add unit test to check various scenarios.

Keep an extra write ref on the control socket. This ensures that we
avoid a read/write on the socket when going from non-empty->empty->not-empty.
We remove the write ref only when we actually are empty and we need to
wait for flushing or a new buffer.
This makes the bufferpool benchmark about 30% faster than the pure
malloc implementation.
API: gst_value_array_append_and_take_value
API: gst_value_list_append_and_take_value
We were already using this internally, this makes it public for code
which frequently appends values which are expensive to copy (like
structures, arrays, caps, ...).
Avoids copies of the values for users. The passed GValue will also
be 0-memset'ed for re-use.
New users can replace this kind of code:
gst_value_*_append_value(mycontainer, &myvalue);
g_value_unset(&myvalue);
by:
gst_value_*_append_and_take_value(mycontainer, &myvalue);
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701632
When max_buffers > 0 and the pool is empty, actually try to allocate more
buffers up to the max_buffers limit.
We need to add a counter for this to count how many buffers we allocated and
check this against the max_buffers limit.
Reorganise and clean up some code.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681153
Make GstAllocator a GstObject instead of a GstMiniObject, like bufferpool.
Make a new gstallocator.c file. Make a GstAllocator subclass for the default
allocator.
Reset the buffer not after we acquire but before we release into the pool. This
makes sure that the pool only has buffers in a clean state and that we can set
extra metadata on buffers in the acquire method. this means that we need to
remove an argument from the method.
Add a new LOCKED flag to the metadata. Refuse removing LOCKED metadata from
a buffer.
Mark the metadata from the bufferpool LOCKED.
Add unit test for LOCKED flag
Remove the const from the GstCaps in get/set_param. set_param modifies
the refcount of the caps.
Don't increment the refcount of the caps result of get_param like we
do with other objects.
Update some annotiations.
