The spec mentions a version of the MPEG-2 frame with a base frame and
extension frame. I don't have IEC 13818-3 to figure out what that is,
and don't see any references in search results, so it's a FIXME for now.

When playing chained data the audio ringbuffer is released and
then acquired again. This makes it reset the segbase/segdone
variables, but the next sample will be scheduled to play in
the next position (right after the sample from the previous media)
and, as the segdone is at 0, the audiosink will wait the duration
of this previous media before it can write and play the new data.
What happens is this:
pointer at 0, write to 698-1564, diff 698, segtotal 20, segsize 1764, base 0
it will have to wait the length of 698 samples before being able to write.
In a regular sample playback it looks like:
pointer at 677, write to 696-1052, diff 19, segtotal 20, segsize 1764, base 0
In this case it will write to the next available position and it
doesn't need to wait or fill with silence.
This solution is borrowed from pulsesink that resets the clock to
start again from 0, which makes it reset the time_offset to the time
of the last played sample. This is used to correct the place of
writing in the ringbuffer to the new start (0 again)

Move the assert to the error handling block at the end of the function so the
the logging is still triggered. Reword the logging slightly and add another
comment to hint what went wrong.
Fixes#737138
Issue:
During a PAUSED->PLAYING transition when we are rendering an audio buffer in AudioBaseSink
we make adjustments to the sink's provided clock i.e. fix clock calibration using the external
pipeline clock, within "gst_audio_base_sink_sync_latency function inside gstaudiobasesink.c".
For the calibration adjustment we need to get the sink clock time using "gst_audio_clock_get_time".
But before calling "gst_audio_clock_get_time" we acquire the Object Lock on the Sink. If sink is
a pulsesink, "gst_audio_clock_get_time" internally calls "gst_pulsesink_get_time" which needs to
acquire Pulse Audio Main Loop Lock before querying Pulse Audio for its stream time using
"pa_stream_get_time". Please see "gst_pulsesink_get_time in pulsesink.c".
So the situation here is we have acquired the Object lock on Sink and need PA Main Loop Lock.
Now Pulse Audio Main Thread itself might be in the process of posting a stream status
message after Paused to Playing transition which in turn acquires the PA Main loop lock and
needs the Object Lock on Pulse Sink. This causes a deadlock with the earlier render thread.
Fix:
Do not acquire the object Lock on Sink before querying the time on PulseSink clock. This is
similar to the way we have used get_time at other places in the code. Acquire it after the
get_time call. This way PA Main loop will be able to post its stream status message by
acquiring the Sink Object lock and will eventually release its Main Loop lock needed for
gst_pulsesink_get_time to continue.

As was done for the base video decoder in commit 695675, don't
flush out the decoder on a new SEGMENT event. Segment events
may be a new segment, but are also often segment updates for
the current segment where the old data should be kept. For new
segments, a STREAM_START event will already trigger a drain, but
make sure to flush any remaining partial data then as well.

With most decoder libraries, and especially when accessing codecs via
OpenMAX or similar APIs, we don't have the ability to properly related
the output buffers to a number of input samples. And could e.g. get
a fractional number of input buffers decoded at a time.
Previously this would in the end lead to an error message and stopped
playback. Change it to a warning message instead and try to handle it
gracefully. In theory the subclass can now get timestamp tracking
wrong if it completely misuses the API, but if on average it behaves
correct (and gst-omx and others do) it will continue to work properly.
Also add a test for the new behaviour.
We don't change it in the encoder yet as that requires more internal logic
changes AFAIU and I'm not aware of a case where this was a problem so far.
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 were returning in various places without unreffing the caps, and
we were also leaking (overwriting) the caps we got from _get_current_caps()
Spotted by Haakon Sporsheim in #gstreamer
Clock slaving can clip start time to zero, giving us a shorted
duration than we originally got. To keep in sync, we must then
discard the samples falling before that zero timestamp.
This possibly fixes random distortion caused by constant PA
underflows which are never resynced.
Fixes problem in audioconvert, which would end up using
a mixmatrix when converting between different mono format
because it thinks MONO positioning is different from
unpositioned channels, which is not the case in this
special case. The mixmatrix would end up being 0.0 so
audioconvert would convert to silence samples.

We call the _get_time function from the provided clock and we don't lock
the sink object for performance reasons. Make sure we only read and
check variables once so that they don't change while we are executing
the code.

For default caps generation when handling gap events that are sent
before any buffer, try to use caps that are closer to what upstream
provided to avoid fixating rate or channels to 1 as default.
So there are the steps:
1) Try to set rate, channels and channel-mask from upstream if provided
2) Fixate the rate and channels to the default rate and channels from
audio lib
3) Fixate the caps just to be sure everything is fixed
4) If no channel-mask was provided and channels > 2, use a default
channel-mask (taken from audioconvert code)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722144
Before trying to generate a default fixated caps when handling a gap
event, make sure that the same strategy that is used when handling
a buffer has been attempted. Otherwise audiodecoder will ignore
upstream caps settings such as rate and channels and will likely
end with a caps with channels=1 and rate=1.

Port a change from audiobasesink from def07410, to ignore setcaps
when the caps don't actually change, and avoid a reconfiguration
and reset of the ringbuffer in that case.
And don't assume in other code that set_format() preserves any fields at
all. These assumptions were already made here for fields that were changed
by set_format().
If there are no caps from the audio decoder when handling a GAP
event - as when one is received right at the start on a DVD without
initial audio - then choose any default caps for downstream and
then send the GAP, so the audio sink has a configured format in
which to start the ringbuffer.
Also, make the audio sink reject a GAP without caps with a clearer
error message.
