Unfortunately this does not go through the normal state change
machinery, so we don't get notified about this in change_state().
However we need to stop scheduled playback, so that once PLAYING is
reached again we can start scheduled playback with the correct time.
Without this, flushing seeks in PLAYING will not work correctly:
decklinkvideosink will wait before showing the new frames for the amount
of time the pipeline was in PLAYING before.
While gint64 and int64_t are always the same, clang does not agree with that.

Scale down to milliseconds, otherwise at least some hardware has problems
scheduling the frames (or schedules them too slow) and we run out of available
frames.

We have no idea which timestamps they are supposed to have so the only thing
we can do at this point is to drop them. Packets without timestamps happen if
audio was captured but no corresponding video, which shouldn't happen under
normal circumstances.

When the mode of decklinkvideosink is set to "auto", the sink claims to
support the full set of caps that it can support for all modes. Then, every
time new caps are set, the sink will automatically find the correct mode for
these caps and set it.
Caveat: We have no way to know whether a specific mode will actually work for
your hardware. Therefore, if you try sending 4K video to a 1080 screen, it
will silently fail, we have no way to know that in advance. Manually setting
that mode at least gave the user a way to double-check what they are doing.

Otherwise we're going to return times starting at 0 again after shutting down
an element for a specific input/output and then using it again later.

We were converting all times to our internal running times, that is the time
the sink itself spent in PLAYING already. But forgot to do that for the
running time calculated from the buffer timestamps. As such, all buffers were
scheduled much later if the pipeline's running time did not start at 0.
This happens for example if a base time is explicitly set on the pipeline.

The autodetection mode was broken because a race condition in the input mode
setting. The mode could be reverted back when it was replaced in
the streaming thread by the old mode in the middle of mode changed callback.
Add the diff between the external time when we went to playing and
the external time when the pipeline went to playing. Otherwise we
will always start outputting from 0 instead of the current running
time.
