* use INFO/DEBUG/LOG/TRACE equaly and meaningfully;
previously rtprtxsend:LOG and rtprtxreceive:LOG would generate
a totally different amount of log traffic and sometimes it was
impossible to see the information you wanted without useless
spam being printed around
* improve the wording, give a reasonable and self-explanatory
amount of information
* print SSRCs in hex
* avoid G_FOO_FORMAT for readability (we are just printing integers)
If an element queries the number of retransmission buffers pushed
*while* the push is still taking place (and before the object lock
is taken just after) it would end up with the wrong statistic
being reported.
Increment it just before the push, avoids races when getting statistics

To do that, enqueue the EOS event to be sent from the srcpad task
thread and flush the queue right afterwards, so that no more rtx
buffers can be sent, even if there are more requests coming in.

The reason behind this is to minimize the retransmission delay.
Previously, when a NACK was received, rtprtxsend would put a
retransmission packet in a queue and it would send it from chain(),
i.e. only after a new buffer would arrive.
This unfortunately was causing big delays, in the order of 60-100 ms,
which can be critical for the receiver side.
By having a separate GstTask for pushing buffers out of rtxsend,
we can push buffers out right after receiving the event, without
waiting for chain() to get called.
1) pt can be lower than 96
2) there is no point in checking that because rtprtxsend will not
even store buffers for payload types that it doesn't know about,
so this case will never be reached
This patch moves the creation of rtx packets to be done early,
in the src_event() function, when they are requested. The purpose
is to run gst_rtp_rtx_buffer_new() with the object locked to
protect internal data, because if it is done at the pushing stage,
we would have to lock and unlock multiple times in a row while we
are pushing the rtx buffers.
Previously there was no locking at all, which was terribly wrong.
This property allows you to specify the amount of buffers
to keep in the retransmission queue expressed as time (ms)
instead of buffer count (which is the max_size_buffers property).
The purpose of the sender RTX object is to keep a history
of RTP packets up to a configurable limit (in time). It will
listen for custom retransmission events from downstream. When
it receives a request for retransmission, it will look up the
requested seqnum in its list of stored packets. If the packet
is available, it will create a RTX packet according to RFC 4588
and send this as an auxiliary stream.
The receiver will listen to the custom retransmission events
from the downstream jitterbuffer and will remember the SSRC1
of the stream and seqnum that was requested. When it sees a
packet with one of the stored seqnum, it associates the SSRC2
of the stream with the SSRC1 of the master stream. From then
on it knows that SSRC2 is the retransmission stream of SSRC1.
This algorithm is stated in RFC 4588. For this algorithm to
work, RFC4588 also states that no two pending retransmission
requests can exist for the same seqnum and different SSRCs or
else it would be impossible to associate the retransmission with
the original requester SSRC.
When the RTX receiver has associated the retransmission packets,
it can depayload and forward them to the source pad of the element.
RTX is SSRC-multiplexed
