The function init_pre() in gstreamer/gst/gst.c calls setlocale(LC_ALL, ""),
which sets the locale to the values specified in the environment. This is
wrong for two reasons:
1. It is absolutely not the task of a library to decide on the correct locale
for a program. Some programs change the locale for various (good or bad)
reasons, and libraries should respect that. Programs where GStreamer's
overwriting of the locale causes bugs include Emacs [1, 2], Sublime Text [3],
and Lua [4].

[4] https://github.com/pavouk/lgi/issues/19
Note that setting the locale can cause problems for programs that are not even
linked against GStreamer. In the case of Emacs, for example, GStreamer seems
to be initialized through GTK via libcanberra.
2. Setting the locale is not thread-safe, and therefore should not be done in a
library.

It's usually not a problem if a query fails if there's no peer,
especially as it will happen during pad linking (caps query)
quite often and spams the logs.
If we try to push sticky events but a probe dropped them, we don't mark
the event as received and mark the pad as PENDING_EVENTS. This ensures
that we resend the event the next time. For this we need to let the
custom flow return from the probe trickle up to
gst_pad_push_event_unchecked() so that we can differentiate between
OK and DROPPED probe returns.
First check that we can actually register the implementation before
making a GstMetaInfo. If we can't register we would otherwise end
up with an undefined type and an invalid GstMetaInfo.
It's possible that type registration fails because another metadata
with the same implementation name was already registered.
Fixes negotiation taking a ridiculous amount of
time (multiple 10s of seconds on a core2) when
there are duplicate entries in lists.
Could have a negative performance impact on other
scenarios because we now have to iterate the
dest list to avoid duplicates, but we don't
have a lot of lists any more these days, and
they tend to be small anyway. The negatives
are hopefully countered by the positive effects
of reducing the list length early on in the
process. And in any case, it's the right thing
to do.

This happened when glib was not using system printf, and caused the
internal gstreamer printf extensions to be used for all %p printfs,
causing crashes.

Also add test to make sure that if a pad probe is removed while it's
callback is running, the cleanup_hook isn't called again if it
returns GST_PAD_PROBE_REMOVE
Facilitate GstBuffer -> GstSample transition for some tags,
could be hard to catch otherwise when creating tags, since
it'll only be apparent later when someone tries to read the
tags.
We usually first create the stream_id for the stream_start event and then add
the pad to the element. This means that this functions should work when there
are no pads on the element yet.
Recheck for sticky events after doing a pad block because the pad block could
have caused a relink and then we need to resend the events to the newly linked
pad.
Fixes things like switching of visualisations.
The duration should be re-queried via a query using the
normal path, we don't want applications to use the value
from the message itself, since it might no match what a
duration query done from the sink upstream might yield.
Also disables duration caching in GstBin. It should be
added back again at some point.
When making a copy of the memory allocated from the default memory allocator,
make sure the new copy has the same alignment as the original memory.

Elements such as the GstIirEqualizerNBands would so far not store the properties
of their children. Now we also grab the properties of child elements and try to
restore them.
Not so useful: just adds/reads stuff from an internal GList without
actually doing anything with those paths, so remove for now:
gst_registry_add_path
gst_registry_get_path_list

No longer accept any old GObjects. This makes things nicer for
bindings. If a utility function that handles both nicely
is deemed worthwhile, we can still add one to gstutils.

Add an alternative version of gst_pad_check_reconfigure that doesn't
clear the reconfigure flag.
Useful for increasing error resilience without duplicating the
reconfigure code in pad task functions.

GObject Introspection does not support macros.
This is needed for bindings. We can still add back
macros or inline functions again later if we think
it's worth it.

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.

The order of returned pads wasn't specified before, so let's specify
it and use an order which might prove the most useful : the order in
which pads were added to the element.
If someone changes the order, make sure users of those iterators from
now on don't rely on that order !
This is because we need to be able to signal different TOCs
to downstream elements such as muxers and the application,
and because we need to send both types as events (because
the sink should post the TOC messages for the app in the
end, just like tag messages are now posted by the sinks),
and hence need to make TOC events multi-sticky.

This specifies if a given taglist applies to the complete
medium or only this specific stream. By default a taglist
has a stream scope.
Fixes bug #677619.
Add an offset field that is used to track at what position the segment was
updated. This is used to set the running time to 0 when we do a flushing
seek that doesn't update the position.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680306
Remove the user_data from the alloc vmethod. Subclasses that implement a new
alloc function can also implement their own vmethod to pass extra arguments. We
can then also require that custom allocators implement an alloc function so that
gst_allocator_alloc() always works.
So we can serialise/deserialise taglists inside structures,
which used to work automagically before because GstTagList
was just a typedef to GstStructure (same for the GType),
but now that it's a separate GType we need to register
explicit functions for this.
Helps with GDP stuff in pipelines/streamheader tests.
Remove the estimated-total field, this should not be part of the buffering
message.
Set the default value of buffering-left to 0 when the percent is 100.
In the proxy_query_caps function, also filter against the filter in the query.
We don't need to filter against the filter in the query anymore in the default
caps query function because we already did this in the proxy_query_caps.
Define a 0 and -1 step amount. They used to almost do the same thing but now, 0
cancels/stops the current step and -1 keeps on stepping until the end of the
segment.

This reverts commit dd9fedb41f.
This is not the right place to escape the \, we should only escape the spaces to
keep the arguments together that were provided as one group (with quotes on the
shell).
Stop querying the duration once an element return unknown and return unknown
as a final result. This avoid eventually cutting off a stream too early.
Add a tests to docuement the behavior.
The ghostpad code directly activates/deactivates the child code by
calling gst_pad_activate_mode, rather than gst_pad_set_active, so
make sure to clear the flags in gst_pad_activate_mode(), which should
catch all cases.
Make gst_query_add_allocation_meta() take a copy of the passed caps instead of
taking ownership. This makes it easier for the caller in most cases because it
doesn't have to make a copy and deal with NULL values.
