This has the same function as the negotiate() functions in various other
base classes and is required to be able to completely re-implement
submit_input_buffer() in subclasses.
When we do not have any information about DTSs we shouldn't try to make
them up, moreover after seeking `segment->start` has nothing to do with
the next buffer timing (and is probably after the actual buffer timestamp)
and since, since fa8312472f
we do:
```
if (buffer->dts > buffer->dts)
buffer->pts = buffer->dts
```
we end up setting `buffer->pts = segment->start` which is plain
broken and leads to downstream decoder accept the first buffer
as it will be inside the segment (its pts==segment->start) which
basically means accurate seeking behaves mostly the same way as
keyframe seeks.

As soon as gstcheck potentially calls out to code it does not
control, such as gst_element_request_pad, all assertions about
pad refcounts go out the window.
We were checking to make sure the buffer's DTS wouldn't be after its
PTS. However, the check would also trigger when DTS is NONE, which is
e.g. in the case of some broken cameras.
Fixes#470
If, for example, we are accumulating rounding errors from the buffer
duration when calculating the PTS/DTS, it can happen that the buffer
thinks it should be presented before it's decoded. In that case we just
clamp the DTS.
Post instant-rate-request message when receiving an instant-rate-change
event, and handle the incoming instant-rate-sync-time events from the
pipeline.
If the expected size is bigger than the actual buffer size, it would
memcmp random memory which could lead to crashes instead of proper error
reporting.
The virtual method named `get_caps` in both `GstBaseSrc` and
`GstBaseSink` has a `filter` parameter which can be `NULL` (the
default implementation in GstBaseSrc already considers the case).
Before this commit, there was no gtk-doc annotation representing this
fact, which caused the corresponding entry in the GIR file to also
miss this fact.
This caused bugs in other places, such inducing the Vala compiler to
introduce a wrongly assert on `(filter != NULL)` in every
implementation of the `get_caps` method implemented in Vala.
By passing NULL to `g_signal_new` instead of a marshaller, GLib will
actually internally optimize the signal (if the marshaller is available
in GLib itself) by also setting the valist marshaller. This makes the
signal emission a bit more performant than the regular marshalling,
which still needs to box into `GValue` and call libffi in case of a
generic marshaller.
Note that for custom marshallers, one would use
`g_signal_set_va_marshaller()` with the valist marshaller instead.

Otherwise it can happen that we start waiting for another pad, while one
pad already has events that can be handled and potentially also a buffer
that can be handled. That buffer would then however not be accessible by
the subclass from GstAggregator::get_next_time() as there would be the
events in front of it, which doesn't allow the subclass then to
calculate the next time based on already available buffers.
As a side-effect this also allows removing the duplicated event handling
code in the aggregate function as we'll always report pads as not ready
when there is a serialized event or query at the top of at least one
pad's queue.

The install kwarg on configure_file() was only added in
Meson 0.50 but we're targetting older versions as well,
which caused a warning. The install kwarg is not needed
here as we specify install_dir, so we can just drop it.
Fixes#379
The documentation says that this allows the subclass to signal that it
needs more data before it can decide on caps, so let's actually
implement it that way.
This is similar to what demuxers do, and necessary when multiple
sinks get seeked downstream of the aggregator: if we forward
duplicated seeks upstream, elements such as demuxers may drop
the flushing seeks, but return TRUE, aggregator then waits forever
for the flushing events.
Fixes#276
When passing "sink_%d" twice to aggregator before it would create two
pads called "sink_0", because it failed to parse "%d" as integer and
used 0 instead then.
Instead validate that parsing was actually successful and also don't
even try to parse if the requested pad name contains a '%'.
strcmp() does not allow the arguments to be NULL, but g_strcmp0()
does, so document that we use g_strcmp0() so that people don't need to
worry about that.
At the moment, we can only use crank if the pending entry is in the
future. This patch leaves the clock time to the same point if the
pending entry was in the past. This still execute a single entry. This
will be needed for the jitterbuffer, since as soon as we stop waking up
the jitterbuffer when the timer is reschedule later, we may endup with
such case in the unit tests.
Related to #608
By only having it on sinkpad-creation, it is racy to write a test
with a sometimes-pad (like a demuxer) that you want to pull from, having
the pull wait until the pad arrives and the buffer can be produced.
For the query function there's a risk that the function may be called
after the harness has been teared down. Since the function accesses a
pointer to the harness via the pad's data, the harness must protect
itself against this.
Event and chain function is also handled for constistency, although
they don't have the same problem since the gstpad.c checks whether the
pad is flushing before calling these.
This was a misguided effort to try and guarantee the buffers of
the sink pads would not change during aggregate, when an upstream
branch is seeked independently, however this is simply incorrect
as downstream has not necessarily been flushed, or the aggregate
function might be waiting to receive buffers on other pads.
In !159 , we switched to sending flush_start ourselves from the
do_seek implementation. If no flushing seek successfully made its
way upstream, we need to send flush_stop ourselves as well.
Releasing a GRecMutex from a different thread is undefined
behaviour.
There should be no reason to hold the stream lock from the
moment aggregator receives a flush_start until it receives
the last flush_stop: the source pad task is stopped, and can
only be restarted once the last flush_stop has arrived.
I can only speculate as to the reason why this was done,
as it was that way since the original commit. My best
guess is that aggregator originally didn't marshall events
and queries to the aggregate thread, and this somehow
helped work around this.
Instead of tracking "pending_flush_*" on the pads and the
aggregator, we now simply track the last seqnum for flush start
and flush stop events on the pads, and use it to determine whether
we should enter or exit our flushing state.

Since we started depending on GLib 2.44, we can be sure this macro is
defined (it will be a no-op on compilers that don't support it). For
plugins we should just start using `G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE` which means
we no longer need the macro there, but for most types in core we don't
want to break ABI, which means it's better to just keep it like it is
(and use the `#ifdef` instead).
Not that it matters, since we don't check the return value
anyway. Unclear why the aggregator pad flush function should
have a return value at all really, and perhaps it should be
called reset anyway. Spotted by dv on irc.
Another helper to navigate a pipeline. It makes it possible to easily
access the pads of an element:
(gdb) print $gst_element_pad(basesink, "sink")
$1 = 0x7fffe80770f0 [GstPad|sink]
