Soon after setting two variables to 1, the code checks if their values are
different from each other. This would never be true. Removing this.

Variable hands is already checked to contain a value previously at the beginning
of the current block (in line 504). There is no need to check again. This is
logically dead code.

Everytime a buffer is being provided from baseparse, we are parsing all the data from the beginning.
But since we would have already parsed some of the data in the previous iterations,
it doesnt make much sense to keep parsing the same everytime.
Hence skipping the data which is already read in previous iterations to improve the parsing performance.

The duration values in playlists are approximate only, and for
playlist versions 2 and older they are only rounded integer values.
They cannot be used to timestamp buffers. This resulted in playback
gaps and skips because the actual duration of fragments is slightly
different. The solution is to only set the pts of the very first
buffer processed, not for each fragment.
q->bitrate is a guint64, but G_TYPE_INT may read fewer bits
off the stack, and if we pass more then the NULL sentinel
may not be found at the right place, which in turn might
lead to crashes.

The image capture mutex and the pad object lock would cause a race
if the pad query was made right when the image probe was running.
The image probe needs the capture mutex and the querying would need
the pad object lock.
hlsdemux assumes that seeking is not allowed for live streams,
however seek is possible if there are sufficient fragments in the
manifest. For example the BBC have live streams that contain 2 hours
of fragments.
The seek code for both live and on-demand is common code. The
difference between them is that an offset has to be calculated
for the timecode of the first fragment in the live playlist.
When hlsdemux starts to play a live stream, the possible seek range
is between 0 and A seconds. After some time has passed, the beginning of
the stream will no longer be available in the playlist and the seek
range is between B and C seconds.
Seek range:
start 0 ........... A
later B ........... C
This commit adds code to keep a note of the B and C values
and the highest sequence number it has seen. Every time it updates the
media playlist, it walks the list of fragments, seeing if there is a
fragment with sequence number > highest_seen_sequence. If so, the values
of B and C are updated. The value of B is used when timestamping
buffers.
It also makes sure the seek range is never closer than three fragments
from the end of the playlist - see 6.3.3. "Playing the Playlist file"
of the HLS draft.

No need to use an iterator for this which creates a temporary
structure every time and also involves taking and releasing the
object lock many times in the course of iterating. Not to mention
all that GList handling in gst_aggregator_iterate_sinkpads().
For small amounts some data might be mistyped and it would cause
the pipeline to fail. For example if you have AAC inside mpegts,
for small amounts, the AAC samples would cause the typefinder to
think it is AAC and not mpegts.
