There's no need to do this, and it can make seeking far less accurate.
For a specific use case: I am working with a long (45-minute) MPEG-1 layer 3 file, which has a constant bit rate but no seeking tables. Trying to seek the pipeline immediately after pausing it, without the ACCURATE flag, to a location 41 minutes in, yields a location that is potentially over ten seconds ahead of where it should be. This patch improves that drastically.

During dispose the pool will still have a reference count of 1 and all
API on it can still be safely called.
Subclasses will have already freed their own data before finalize is
called but would nonetheless be called into again via the pool
deactivation.

Those will cause us to renegotiate at the next aggregate cycle,
and while at that point we may decide to reconfigure upstream
branches (in practice we don't as this is inherently racy,
and that's the reason why mixer subclasses perform conversion
internally), we certainly don't want to just forward the event
willy-nilly to all our sinkpads.
An actual issue this is fixing is when caps downstream of a
compositor are changed at every samples-selected signal emission,
for the purpose of interpolating the output geometry, and the
compositor has a non-zero latency, the reconfigure events were
forwarded to basesrc, which triggered an allocation query, which
in turn caused aggregator to have to drain (thus not being able
to queue <latency> frames), leading to disastrous effects
(choppy output as compositor couldn't consume frames fast enough,
the higher the latency the choppier the output)

It is an extremely common mistake on Windows to have incorrect PATH
values when loading a plugin, and the error from g_module_error()
(which just calls FormatMessageW()) is very confusing in this case:
The specified module could not be found.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/system-error-codes--0-499-#ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND
It implies the plugin itself could not be found. The actual issue is
that a DLL dependency could not be found. We need to detect this case
and print a more useful error message.
We should still print the error fetched from FormatMessage() so that
people are able to google for it.

When detecting the remote time has been reset which may occur if remote
device providing the clock server has been power reset, then clock is
no longer synced. Setting clock state will trigger a signal to client
informing on sync lost making it possibility to take appropriate action.

Dynamically registered elements (hardware element in most cases)
may or may not be available on a system and properties may be different
per system.
This new API will make documentation skipping possible in programmable way.

This takes a plain message string and not a format string, and as a
result doesn't have to be passed through vasprintf() and lead to further
unnecessary allocations. It can also contain literal `%` because of
that.
The new function is mostly useful for bindings that would have to pass a
full string to GStreamer anyway and would do formatting themselves with
language-specific functionality.

The failure conditions can be overidden by subclasses, and a boolean
return value is provided to the caller whether adding/removing the child
element has actually worked. The caller can then handle this
accordingly but flooding stderr with this is not very useful.

Currently reading extension relies on the fact that everything after the
last"." character is a file extension. Whereas that works fine for most
of the cases, it breaks when the URI contains a query part.
E.g.: `http://url.com/file.mp4?param=value` returns `mp4?param=value`
instead of `mp4`.
In this commit we use URI parser to read the path of the URI (in the example
above, that is `/file.mp4`) and read extension from that path.

We were checking if the start time of the gap event was
GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE, which is superfluous because that cannot happen,
and then not checking if it was NONE after gst_segment_to_running_time,
which caused a crash if an identity received a gap event fully or
partially outside the current segment.

Also refactor various internals of the monitor code:
- Don't allow starting twice but just return directly when starting a
second time.
- Don't end up in an inconsistent state if call start() a second time
while the monitor is starting up.
- Remove complicated cookie code: it was not possible to add/remove
filters while the monitor was started anyway so this was only useful
in the very small time-window while starting the monitor or while
getting the devices. Instead disallow adding/removing filters while
the monitor is starting, and when getting devices work on a snapshot
of providers/filters.

gst_base_parse_reset() does not reset data_bytecount to 0, so
gst_base_parse_update_bitrates() uses a wrong value to calculate
the average bitrate on subsequent pipeline starts. This leads to an
excessive amount of "tag" events being pushed. These events include
very high "bitrate" values that diminish over time, and are produced
until the average bitrate is back to sane values.

... in favour of dep.get_variable('foo', ..) which in some
cases allows for further cleanups in future since we can
extract variables from pkg-config dependencies as well as
internal dependencies using this mechanism.

An inactive pad is a pad which, in live mode, hasn't yet received
a first buffer, but has been waited on at least once.
Exposing API to support this behaviour allows users of aggregator
subclasses to request pads, and not start pushing data on those
immediately, while avoiding systematic timeouts.
Subclasses must check in explicitly to this behavior, most likely
by exposing a user-facing property, and must check whether a pad
needs ignoring when aggregating. That is because by design,
aggregator subclasses don't get a list of "ready" pads, but instead
directly iterate element->sinkpads.

For monorepo build and ugly/bad, for advanced feature

Introduces a `libraries` variable that contains all libraries in a
list with the following format:
``` meson
libraries = [
[pkg_name, {
'lib': library_object
'gir': [ {full gir definition in a dict } ]
],
....
]
```
It therefore refactors the way we build the gir so that we can reuse the
same information to build them against 'gstreamer-full' in gst-build
when linking statically

In an embedded system where all services run as seperate users it is
useful to have the gstreamer registry readable by all so it can be
re-used, in similar manner as a host system where one user have seperate
applications running but all share same registry.
To make this possible introducing GST_REGISTRY_MODE for adjusting the
changing mode of the registry binary when finishing up with the
temporary file (which has restricted access).
