In many parts of the code we raise streaming error when the flow
goes wrong, and each time we create more or less similare error
message. Also that message does not let the application know what
has actually gone wrong. In the new API we add a "flow-return" detail
field inside the GstMessage so that the application has all the information
if it needs it.

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
A new event which precedes EOS in situations where we

We don't do calculations with different units (buffer offsets and bytes)
anymore but have functions for:
1) getting the number of bytes since the last discont
2) getting the offset (and pts/dts) at the last discont
and the previously added function to get the last offset and its distance from
the current adapter position.

API: gst_buffer_prev_offset
API: gst_buffer_get_offset_from_discont
The gst_buffer_get_offset_from_discont() method allows retrieving the current
offset based on the GST_BUFFER_OFFSET of the buffers that were pushed in.
The offset will be set initially by the GST_BUFFER_OFFSET of
DISCONT buffers, and then incremented by the sizes of the following
buffers.
The gst_buffer_prev_offset() method allows retrievent the previous
GST_BUFFER_OFFSET regardless of flags. It works in the same way as
the other gst_buffer_prev_*() methods.

We already had a _full() version, but having that alone seems inconsistent.
Add a non-full version that mirrors the behaviour of gst_pad_link() vs
gst_pad_link_full().
This calls a function from another thread, asynchronously. This is to be
used for cases when a state change has to be performed from a streaming
thread, directly via gst_element_set_state() or indirectly e.g. via SEEK
events.
Calling those functions directly from the streaming thread will cause
deadlocks in many situations, as they might involve waiting for the
streaming thread to shut down from this very streaming thread.
This is mostly a convenience function around a GThreadPool and is for example
used by GstBin to continue asynchronous state changes.

g_signal_emit_by_name() is not like gst_app_src_push_buffer() due to reference

This is a useful function to automatically add ghost pads when linking
two elements across bin boundaries without know their exact parentage.
e.g. when using gst_parse_bin_from_description (with or without it ghosting pads),
one can simply retreive the src/sink pads from the bin to link to another pad.
Similar functionality is provided by gst_element_link_pads{_full}() however only
by pad name rather than by actual pads.

Only hide GstTracer and GstTracerRecord API behind GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API,
but don't spew any warnings, otherwise everyone has to define this
to avoid compiler warnings.
This reverts parts of commit 89ee5d948d.
We use this class to register tracer log entry metadata and build a log
template. With the log template we can serialize log data very efficiently.
This also simplifies the logging code, since that is now a simple varargs
function that is not exposing the implementation details.
Add docs for the new class and basic tests.
Remove the previous log handler.

Other gst libraries and/or elements may want to add some debug logging to an

When g_option_context_parse fails, context and error variables are not getting free'd

When adding an element to a bin we need to propagate the GstContext's
to/from the element.
This moves the GstContext list from GstBin to GstElement and adds
convenience functions to get the currently set list of GstContext's.
This does not deal with the collection of GstContext's propagated
using GST_CONTEXT_QUERY. Element subclasses are advised to call
gst_element_set_context if they need to propagate GstContext's
received from the context query.

gst_segment_to_position might cause confusion, especially with the addition of
gst_segment_position_from_stream_time . Deprecated gst_segment_to_position
now, and replaced it with gst_segment_position_from_running_time.
Also added unit tests.
gst_segment_position_from_stream_time() will convert stream time into a
position in the segment so that gst_segment_to_stream_time() with that
position returns the same stream time. It will return -1 if the stream time
given is not inside the segment.

By introducing gst_harness_add_src_harness and gst_harness_add_sink_harness
we collect all sub-harness setup in one function, making the previous
sub-harness creation functions now calls these directly, and making it

using the more generic harness-creation functions.

A core meta which helps implement the old concept
of sub-buffering in some situations, by making it
possible for a buffer to keep a ref on a different
parent buffer. The parent buffer is unreffed when
the Meta is freed.
This meta is used to ensure that a buffer whose
memory is being shared to a child buffer isn't freed
and returned to a buffer pool until the memory
is.

Provide the memory implementation the GstMapInfo that will be used to

This uses all of the netclientclock code, except for the generation and
parsing of packets. Unfortunately some code duplication was necessary
because GstNetTimePacket is public API and couldn't be extended easily
to support NTPv4 packets without breaking API/ABI.
GstPtpClock implements a PTP (IEEE1588:2008) ordinary clock in
slave-only mode, that allows a GStreamer pipeline to synchronize
to a PTP network clock in some specific domain.
The PTP subsystem can be initialized with gst_ptp_init(), which then
starts a helper process to do the actual communication via the PTP
ports. This is required as PTP listens on ports < 1024 and thus
requires special privileges. Once this helper process is started, the
main process will synchronize to all PTP domains that are detected on
the selected interfaces.
gst_ptp_clock_new() then allows to create a GstClock that provides the
PTP time from a master clock inside a specific PTP domain. This clock
will only return valid timestamps once the timestamps in the PTP domain
are known. To check this, the GstPtpClock::internal-clock property and
the related notify::clock signal can be used. Once the internal clock
is not NULL, the PTP domain's time is known. Alternatively you can wait
for this with gst_ptp_clock_wait_ready().
To gather statistics about the PTP clock synchronization,
gst_ptp_statistics_callback_add() can be used. This gives the
application the possibility to collect all kinds of statistics
from the clock synchronization.

gst_clock_wait_for_sync(), gst_clock_is_synced() and gst_clock_set_synced()
plus a signal to asynchronously wait for the clock to be synced.
This can be used by clocks to signal that they need initial synchronization
before they can report any time, and that this synchronization can also get
completely lost at some point. Network clocks, like the GStreamer
netclientclock, NTP or PTP clocks are examples for clocks where this is useful
to have as they can't report any time at all before they're synced.

GstFlagSet is a new type designed for negotiating sets
of boolean capabilities flags, consisting of a 32-bit
flags bitfield and 32-bit mask field. The mask field
indicates which of the flags bits an element needs to have
as specific values, and which it doesn't care about.
This allows efficient negotiation of arrays of boolean
capabilities.
The standard serialisation format is FLAGS:MASK, with
flags and mask fields expressed in hexadecimal, however
GstFlagSet has a gst_register_flagset() function, which
associates a new GstFlagSet derived type with an existing
GFlags gtype. When serializing a GstFlagSet with an
associated set of GFlags, it also serializes a human-readable
form of the flags for easier debugging.
It is possible to parse a GFlags style serialisation of a
flagset, without the hex portion on the front. ie,
+flag1/flag2/flag3+flag4, to indicate that
flag1 & flag4 must be set, and flag2/flag3 must be unset,
and any other flags are don't-care.

In order to support some types of protected streams (such as those
protected using DASH Common Encryption) some per-buffer information
needs to be passed between elements.
This commit adds a GstMeta type called GstProtectionMeta that allows
protection specific information to be added to a GstBuffer. An example
of its usage is qtdemux providing information to each output sample
that enables a downstream element to decrypt it.
This commit adds a utility function to select a supported protection
system from the installed Decryption elements found in the registry.
The gst_protection_select_system function that takes an array of
identifiers and searches the registry for a element of klass Decryptor that
supports one or more of the supplied identifiers. If multiple elements
are found, the one with the highest rank is selected.
This commit adds a unit test for the gst_protection_select_system
function that adds a fake Decryptor element to the registry and then
checks that it can correctly be selected by the utility function.
This commit adds a unit test for GstProtectionMeta that creates
GstProtectionMeta and adds & removes it from a buffer and performs some
simple reference count checks.

GstNetAddress can be used to store ancillary data which was received with
or is to be sent alongside the buffer data. When used with socket sinks
and sources which understand this meta it allows sending and receiving
ancillary data such as unix credentials (See `GUnixCredentialsMessage`)
and Unix file descriptions (See `GUnixFDMessage`).
This will be useful for implementing protocols which use file-descriptor
passing in payloaders/depayloaders without having to re-implement all the
socket handling code already present in elements such as multisocketsink,
etc. This, in turn, will be useful for implementing zero-copy video IPC.
This meta uses the platform independent `GSocketControlMessage` API
provided by GLib as a part of GIO. As a result this new meta does not
require any new dependencies or any conditional compliation for
portablility, although it is unlikely to do anything useful on non-UNIX
platforms.
gst_bin_sync_children_states() will iterate over all the elements of a bin and
sync their states with the state of the bin. This is useful when adding many
elements to a bin and would otherwise have to call
gst_element_sync_state_with_parent() on each and every one of them.

The start and stop should represent the currently downloading region.
The estimated-total should represent the remaining time to download
the currently downloading region. This makes it a lot more useful
for applications because they can then use those values to update
the fill region and use the estimated time to delay playback.
Update the docs with this clarification.
