b4654f537f applemedia: lock CVPixelBuffer read-only
As per Apple's docs, this may improve performance by avoiding redundant
invalidations of existing caches of the buffer contents.

c2672f71cd applemedia: improve vtenc/vtdec performance
Profiling of H.264 encode and decode revealed that conversions
between packed and planar were happening behind the scenes.

Hence we now choose I420 instead of YUY2.

0e4e351b83 applemedia: New plugin for Apple multimedia APIs
Provides the following elements:

qtkitvideosrc: OS X video source relying on the QTKit API. Comes with
hard-coded caps as the API does not provide any way of querying for
formats supported by the hardware. Hasn't been tested a lot, but seems
to work.

miovideosrc: OS X video source which uses the undocumented/private
CoreMediaIOServices API, which is also the one used by iChat.
Present on latest version of Leopard and all versions of Snow Leopard.
Has been tested extensively with built-in cameras and TANDBERG's
PrecisionHD USB camera.

vtenc, vtdec: Generic codec wrappers which make use of the undocumented/
private VideoToolbox API on OS X and iOS. List of codecs are currently
hard-coded to H.264 for vtenc, and H.264 + JPEG for vtdec. Can easily be
expanded by adding new entries to the lists, but haven't yet had time to
do that. Should probably also implement probing as available codecs depend
on the OS and its version, and there doesn't seem to be any way to
enumerate the available codecs.

vth264decbin, vth264encbin: Wrapper bins to make it easier to use
vtdec_h264/vtenc_h264 in live scenarios.

iphonecamerasrc: iPhone camera source relying on the undocumented/private
Celestial API. Tested on iOS 3.1 running on an iPhone 3GS. Stops working
after a few minutes, presumably because of a resource leak. Needs some
love.

Note that the iOS parts haven't yet been ported to iOS 4.x.
