Until now, any streams in tsmux had to be present when the element
started its first buffer. Now they can appear at any point during the
stream, or even disappear and reappear later using the same PID.
This adds two properties:
* scte-35-pid: If not 0, enables the SCTE-35 support for the current
program. This will write the proper PMT and send SCTE-35 NULL
commands (i.e. heartbeats) at a regular interval
* scte-35-null-interval: This specifies the interval at which the
NULL commands should be sent
Sending SCTE-35 commands is done by creating the appropriate SCTE-35
GstMpegtsSection and then sending them on the muxer. See the
associated example
Instead of using a static hardcoded PCR interval, allow the user
to configure it.
Also revert back the default to a 40 ms interval, that was changed
in recent patches for no good reason.
We can have multiple TsMuxPacketInfo objects for the same PID
with user-provided sections, for example ATSC requires multiple
tables with the same PID.
It was previously a mix and match of both variants, introducing just too much
confusion.
The prefix are from now on:
* GstMpegts for structures and type names (and not GstMpegTs)
* gst_mpegts_ for functions (and not gst_mpeg_ts_)
* GST_MPEGTS_ for enums/flags (and not GST_MPEG_TS_)
* GST_TYPE_MPEGTS_ for types (and not GST_TYPE_MPEG_TS_)
The rationale for chosing that is:
* the namespace is shorter/direct (it's mpegts, not mpeg_ts nor mpeg-ts)
* the namespace is one word under Gst
* it's shorter (yah)
The muxer is now able to include DVB sections in the transport stream.
The si-interval property will determine how often the SI tables are
muxed into the stream.
The section is handled by the mpeg-ts library. Below is a small example
that will include a Netork Information Table with a Network Name
descriptor in the stream.
GstMpegTsNIT *nit;
GstMpegTsDescriptor *descriptor;
GstMpegTsSection *section;
GstElement *mpegtsmux;
gst_mpegts_initialize ();
nit = gst_mpegts_section_nit_new ();
nit->actual_network = TRUE;
descriptor = gst_mpegts_descriptor_from_dvb_network_name ("Network name");
g_ptr_array_add (nit->descriptors, descriptor);
section = gst_mpegts_section_from_nit (nit);
// mpegtsmux should be retrieved from the pipeline
gst_mpegts_section_send_event (section, mpegtsmux);
gst_mpegts_section_unref (section);
The prog-map property of mpegtsmux only allows you to group pids together in a program.
The program number set in the PAT/PMT tables cannot be set explicitly.
This patch will set the program number according to the prog-map.
If a program id of 0 is given, the first vacant program number starting from 1 will be used.

The current code is comparing timestamps with different clock.
Let's use only the clock for PTS values.
Also rename frequency to interval, to avoid confusion. And remove
documentation about value 0, which won't work like documented.

This patch address the issue observed with KF timestamps
and delta flag. When a section is appended before the keyframe,
it is not marked as non-delta. It's preferable to mark the
first buffer non-delta.
This patch also simplify the initial patch written by thomas,
since it does not clutter tsmux/ with a delta flag passed
around only for GStreamer convenience.
