otherwise we're going to
a) start Parser/Converter before they are linked to their capsfilter,
breaking their negotiation of a proper stream format
b) start demuxers without having connected to their pad-added signals. We
miss pads and in the worst case don't link any pads at all
... and if this fails for whatever reason we skip the element and instead
try with the next element. This allows us to handle elements that fail
when setting caps on them by just skipping to the next alternative element.
They might fail to go to PAUSED, and when connecting them further
we might already expose their srcpads on decodebin if we're unlucky.
This prevents us to handle failures going to PAUSED gracefully.
If the caps query returned us fixed caps this doesn't mean yet
that these caps are actually complete (fields might be missing).
It allows to do us some decisions, but the selection of the next
element should be delayed as only complete caps allow proper selection
of the next element.
Otherwise we might try to continue autoplugging e.g. for a specific
stream-format although the parser could convert to something else, thus giving
us potentially less options for decoders.
Aggregate buffering messages to only post the lower value
to avoid setting pipeline to playing while any multiqueue
is still buffering.
There are 3 scenarios where the entries should be removed from
the list:
1) When decodebin is set to READY
2) When an element posts a 100% buffering (already implemented)
3) When a multiqueue is removed from decodebin.
For item 3 we don't need to handle it because this should only
happen when either 1 is hapenning or when it is playing a
chained file, for which number 2 should have happened for the
previous stream to finish

2 seconds might be too small for some container formats, e.g.
MPEGTS with some video codec and AAC/ADTS audio with 700ms
long buffers. The video branch of multiqueue can run full while
the audio branch is completely empty, especially because there
are usually more queues downstream on the audio branch.
Usually these buffers are multiple seconds large, and having a maximum
of 5 buffers in the multiqueue there can use a lot of memory. Lower
this to 2 for adaptive streaming demuxers.
If we are using an adaptive stream demuxer, which outputs a non-container
stream, we are putting another multiqueue after the *parser* following
the adaptive stream demuxer. We do not want to add another instance of
the same parser right after this multiqueue.
Otherwise we will emit buffering messages not just from the last
multiqueue but also from previous multiqueues... confusing the
application with different percentages during pre-rolling.
For adaptive streaming demuxer we insert a multiqueue after
this demuxer. This multiqueue will get one fragment per buffer.
Now for the case where we have a container stream inside these
buffers, another demuxer will be plugged and after this second
demuxer there will be a second multiqueue. This second multiqueue
will get smaller buffers and will be the one emitting buffering
messages.
If we don't have a container stream inside the fragment buffers,
we'll insert a multiqueue below right after the next element after
the adaptive streaming demuxer. This is going to be a parser or
decoder, and will output smaller buffers.
Change the way autoplug-select is accumulated so that it's possible to have
multiple handlers. The handlers keep getting called as long as they keep
returning GST_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_TRY.
One practical example of when this is needed is when hooking into playbin's
uridecodebin, which is perhaps not very elegant but the only way to influence
which streams playbin autoplugs/exposes.

Otherwise we're going to deadlock forever because no autoplugging
happens without having caps, but caps can never be send because
we're blocking.
Serialized queries before caps should never be sent unless really
necessary.
Otherwise we will only block after the serialized, non-sticky event
after the CAPS event or the first buffer. If we're waiting for another
pad to finish autoplugging after we got final caps on this pad, it
will mean that we will let the ALLOCATION query pass although the
pad is not exposed yet.
Remove the byte limit for adaptive http streaming. Because some fragments might
be very big, we might need a lot of buffering. I also suspect another problem
where data is actually missing and things go out of sync somehow.
When we disable buffering in the more upstream multiqueue elements,
we need to also update the queue limits. In particular, the max_size_time should
be set to 0 or else we might simply deadlock.
When we have a scenario of demuxers linked to demuxers, decodebin2
will create multiqueue at different levels of the pipeline. The problem
is that only the lowest multiqueue's should do the buffering messaging,
as they will handle with the raw streams data.
When all multiqueues are doing buffering, the upper ones can handle
large buffers that easily fill them, moving from 0% to 100% from
buffer to buffer, causing too much buffering messages to be posted.
This hangs the pipeline unnecessarily and might lead to deadlocks.
Decodebin2's chains store a next_groups list that was being handled as
it could only have a single element. This is true for most of the
chaining streams scenarios where streams change not very often.
In more stressfull changing scenarios, like adaptive streams, those
changes can happen very often, and in short time intervals. This could
confuse decodebin2 as this list was always being used as a single
element list.
This patches makes it handle as a real list, using iteration instead
of picking the first element as the correct one always.
Even if the chain hasn't been 'handled' in this switching round,
report it as drained so upper chains/groups know abou it.
This makes switching happen on upper levels of the groups/chain
trees
The _decode_bin_compare_factories_func() should return negative
value if the rank of both PluginFeatures are equal and the name of
first PluginFeature comes before the second one (== ascending order).
