We might have to drain already queued input based on the old segment
before forwarding the new segment event. The new segment is only
forwarded after a discont as otherwise we might cause unnecessary
timestamp jumps as we output buffers timestamped based on sample counts.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/merge_requests/1254>
If we drain after a discont, the discont time given by the stream
synchronizer is already the time after the discontinuity. But we need to
drain all pending data based on the previous discont time instead.
This happens if we had no CAPS event yet but e.g. got an EOS event. We
would then try to output a 0-sized buffer, but getting that from the
adapter will give an assertion, return NULL and then crash.
This is useful e.g. if audio buffers should be exactly the duration of a
video frame, or if a audio buffers should never be too large because of
latency constraints.
The element is taking a fractional buffer duration, to allow working
with e.g. 1001/30000 as output duration and it accumulates rounding
errors in the buffer durations and compensates for them by making some
buffers one sample larger than the others.
