Even though this parameter is not used, it should be const to fit in with the
coding standards for other similar parameters. Client code already passes in
const strings under the expectation that they won’t be modified.

pads->data is the public list. It is dynamically rebuilt at each call to
check_collected, in check_pads to be specific. When you add a pad and
collectpads have been started, it is not added to the public list.
Thus there exists a possible race where :
1) You would add a pad to collectpads while running.
2) You set collectpads to flushing before check_collected has been called again
-> the pad is not set to flushing
3) the pad starts pushing data as downstream might not be prepared, in the case
of adder it then returns FLOW_FLUSHING.
4) elements like demuxers, when they get a FLOW_FLUSHING, stop their tasks,
never to be seen again.

The change should have been from PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY to
PARAM_CONSTRUCT, otherwise bindings are affected, since
they look for the CONSTRUCT flag.
See ec55363d
The seqnum of the segment after a seek should be the same of
the seek event. Downstream elements might rely on seqnums to
identify events related to a seek.
This is particularly important when a demuxer maps a TIME seek
into a BYTES seek for upstream and it needs to identify the
corresponding segment event and map it back into TIME to push
downstream, possibly using the values from the original seek
event.

If a pad is removed while a collectpads element (say adder) is in a chain
function waiting to be collected, there is a possibility that an unref happens
on a NULL pointer.

This avoids triggering plenty of extra code/methods/overhead downstream when
we can just quickly check whenever we want to set caps whether they are
identical or not

Use custom code to implement flush-stop, we can't reuse the set_flushing code
because we can't touch the live_playing flag and we need to signal the
streaming thread.
In some specific cases (like transmuxing) we want to force the element
to actually parse all incoming data even if the element deems it is not
necessary.
This property simply ignores requests from the element to enable passthrough
mode which results in processing always being enabled.

Adds a variant of the _push function that doesn't check the queue limits
before adding the new item. It is useful when pushing an element to the
queue shouldn't lock the thread.
One particular scenario is when the queue is used to serialize buffers
and events that are going to be pushed from another thread. The
dataqueue should have a limit on the amount of buffers to be stored to
avoid large memory consumption, but events can be considered to have
negligible impact on memory compared to buffers. So it is useful to be
used to push items into the queue that contain events, even though the
queue is already full, it shouldn't matter inserting an item that has
no significative size.
This scenario happens on adaptive elements (dashdemux / mssdemux) as
there is a single download thread fetching buffers and putting into the
dataqueues for the streams. This same download thread can als generate
events in some situations as caps changes, eos or a internal control
events. There can be a deadlock at preroll if the first buffer fetched
is large enough to fill the dataqueue and the download thread and the
next iteration of the download thread decides to push an event to this
same dataqueue before fetching buffers to other streams, if this push
locks, the pipeline will be stuck in preroll as no more buffers will be
downloaded.
There is a somewhat common practice in dash streams to have a single
very large buffer for audio and one for video, so this will always
happen as the download thread will have to push an EOS right after
fetching the first buffer for any stream.

When the range for a property is defined as -INT_MAX-1 .. INT_MAX, like
the xpos in a videomixer the following expression in the macro
definitions of convert_g_value_to_##type (and the equivalent in
convert_value_to_##type)
v = pspec->minimum + (g##type) ROUNDING_OP ((pspec->maximum - pspec->minimum) * s);
are converted to:
v = -2147483648 + (g##type) ROUNDING_OP ((2147483647 - -2147483648) * s);
(2147483647 - -2147483648) overflows to -1 and the net result is:
v = -2147483648 + (g##type) ROUNDING_OP (-1 * s);
so v only takes the values -2147483648 for s == 0 and 2147483647
for s == 1.
Rewriting the expression as minimum*(1-s) + maximum*s gives the correct
result in this case.

Calling gst_buffer_get_size represented 2/3 of the cost of helper_find_peek
which was called whenever a typefindfunction wanted to peek at data.
We already know the size (from the GstMapInfo), so just use that.
