Directsoundsrc/sink have multiple issues, most of which cannot be
fixed at all because the API is deprecated and is implemented as a
compatibility wrapper around WASAPI since Vista.
Users and developers should now use the wasapisrc/sink elements, and
future development efforts should go towards that.
Measures the audio latency between the source pad and the sink pad by
outputting period ticks on the source pad and measuring how long they
take to arrive on the sink pad.
Very useful for quantifying latency improvements in audio pipelines.
This plugin was particularly useful during development of the
low-latency features of the wasapi plugin.

Strictly speaking, the TTML spec requires that text backgrounds extend
only to the font height of the related text, rather than to the vertical
distance between lines. The result of this is that there will typically
be vertical gaps between line backgrounds through which moving video can
be seen. Since this was unnacceptable to some content providers, v1.0.1
of the IMSC spec (which profiles TTML) adds a new attribute,
itts:fillLineGap[1], that allows content authors to specify that clients
should extend text backgrounds such that there are no gaps between
lines. This attribute is also going to be included in the next release
of EBU-TT-D.
This patch adds support for fillLineGap to ttmlparse and ttmlrender.

The low-latency property is *always* safe to enable, so applications
that do realtime communication should set it, and the elements will
automatically configure WASAPI to use the lowest possible device
period, and the audioringbuffer in audiobasesink will also be
configured accordingly.
Applications can also use exclusive mode during capture and playback
for the lowest possible latency if they know that the device will not
be used by any other application.
In this mode, the latency-time and buffer-time properties will be
completely ignored.
The AudioClient3 API is only available on Windows 10, and we will
automatically detect when it is available and use it.
However, using it for capturing audio with low latency and without
glitches seems to require setting the realtime priority of the entire
pipeline to "critical", which we cannot do from inside the element.
Hence, we can only enable that by default for wasapisink since
apps should be able to safely set the low-latency property to TRUE if
they need low-latency capture or playback.
This allows us to request ultra-low-latency device periods even in
shared mode. However, this requires good drivers and Windows 10, so
we only enable this when we detect that we are running on Windows 10
at runtime.
You can forcibly disable this feature on Windows 10 by setting
GST_WASAPI_DISABLE_AUDIOCLIENT3=1 in the environment.
There is nothing in the spec that state that framerate is not valid in
that case. This aligns GStreamer with FFMPEG behaviour for similar
streams.

add_global_arguments() can't be used in subprojects. It's
entirely possible that -bad is a subproject but gstreamer
is picked up from an installed location, so we should
really use add_project_arguments() in both cases.
This is a wrapper around fakesink that will advertise GstVideoMeta
and other meta API in order to achieve zero-copy whenever possible.
his new element is useful when doing performance testing with
video stream and don't want the sink capability to change the
upstream behaviour.

Since there is already an "adaptive-B" option, just
use boolean property for B-pyramid enabling.
Fixme: Not sure whether this can be supported in vp8 and vp9.
It could be possible through GPB (b without backward ref) but
can't verify currently. We can move this as common property
once verified with vp8 and vp9 without breaking any backward
compatibility.

Add a new property "trellis" to enable trellis quantization.
Keeping trellis as a flag value (which is boolean for gst x264 enc element)
since it is possible to enable/disable this seperately for
I,P and B frames through MediaSDK ext option headers.
The subclass implementations always need to inform base-encoder
if it requires the inclusion of Extend Header buffers (mfxExtCodingOption2
and mfxExtCodingOption3).

This option controls down sampling in look ahead bitrate
control mode. According to spec it is only supported in AVC.
Fixme: Probably HEVC also have support for this in recent
MSDK versions. We could move the enumeration types to common
header usable for multiple codecs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791637
MediaSDK has support for a number of rate control algorithms.
Adding all possible options to the property rate-control.
Fixme1: In case of failure, currently we don't have a proper method
to show which rate-control has been failed. It could be better
to add some extensive validation on EncQuery output in case of error.
Unfortunately, not all ratecontrol methods are supported by every codecs
and we don't have the dynamic detection of supported ratecontrol methods yet.

We have the property "i-frames" to set the IDR interval in a
gop. Unfortunately MSDK HEVC encoder behaves bit differently
for IdrInterval field, IdrInteval == 1 indicate every
I-frame should be an IDR (which is IdrInterval == 0 for other codecs),
IdrInteval == 2 means every other I-frame is an IDR
(which is IdrInterval == 1 for other codecs) etc.
So we generalize the behaviour of property "i-frames" by
incrementing the value by one in each case (only for HEVC).

The base encoder common properties are not valid for
mjpeg encoder where there is no motion compensation or rate control.
Delaying the property installation on the base gobject
untill the subclass class_init get invoked.
