The idea was originally that if one passed &dest_fmt with
dest_fmt=GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT, then the code answering the query
could change dest_fmt to the actual default format used. However,
in more than half a decade of GStreamer 0.10 no piece of code in
GStreamer has ever used that feature, nor are there that many
users of this API that actually check whether the format returned
is the original format passed before using the values returned.
Also, it's just annoying-to-use API in its own right.
For all these reasons, make it so that the destination format is
passed directly and can't be changed by the element queried.
It was a bit too clever, and didn't really work as an API,
confusing people to no end. Better implement specific methods
whether an interface is usable/available/ready on the interface
itself, or even add GError arguments, rather than try to have
per-instance interfaces.
Instead of passing it structure by structure. This allows
better optimized transform_caps functions and allows better
transformation decisions.
See bug #619844.
gst_pad_template_get_caps(), gst_pad_get_pad_template_caps()
and gst_pad_get_pad_template() return a new reference of the
caps or template now and the return value needs to be
unreffed after usage.
This allows to add pad templates and set metadata in class_init instead of
base_init. base_init is a concept that is not supported by almost all
languages and copying the templates/metadata for subclasses is the more
intuitive way of doing things.
Subclasses can override pad templates of parent classes by adding a new
template with the same now.
Also gst_element_class_add_pad_template() now takes ownership of the
pad template, which was assumed by all code before anyway.
Fixes bug #491501.
Make GstObject extend from GInitiallyUnowned, remove the FLOATING flag and use
GObject methods for managing the floating ref.
Remove class lock, it was a workaround for a glib < 2.8 bug.
Remove the parent-set and parent-unset signals, attempt to implement with notify
but disabled because deadlocks in deep-notify.
We got the constants for G_LITTLE_ENDIAN and G_BIG_ENDIAN the wrong way around in some docs (fixes: #572392). Also mention
G_BYTE_ORDER in the audio types section.

type to the core; don't provide GStreamer API to initiate the
plugin download, just provide API to compose the strings needed
and let an external libgimmestuff handle the rest.
