Original commit message from CVS:
added unitconvert which has a registry of Units of Measurement and an api to convert one unit to another.
Any required dparam now needs to specify what unit it represents so that an app can convert it to some other unit for presentation/other purposes.
Also added GST_DPMAN_PROCESS_CHUNK macro for elements which don't process their audio one sample at a time (ie, ladspa).
Original commit message from CVS:
This is a major update to the dparams api - I think it is now much cleaner and the app-side is much easier to use.
highlights are:
- GParamSpecs are now used throughout to define dparams
- currently limited to supporting types gfloat, gint and gint64. this should cover 99% of cases and new types can be added in the future
- application-side api is now based almost entirely on setting object properties
- the smoothing dparam is now a subclass of GstDParam
- array-mode is not yet implemented but is not forgotton
time to start documenting
