The inter plugin originated in 0.10, which had only one timestamp. As a
result, during the port to 1.0, the DTS were left undefined. This can cause
subtle bugs with basesrc, which can end up incorrectly picking DTS over PTS
and producing output buffers with incorrect timestamps.

This keep-it-simple plugin is useful when you want to pipe arbitrary
data to a different pipeline within the same process. Some advantages
over appsink/appsrc, the inter elements, etc:
* Ease of use. Buffers, events, and caps are transmitted as-is without
copying or serialization.
* Enables zerocopy (especially DMABUF) transparently without any
special-casing.
* Enables usage with sinks or elements that are unreliable and may
throw errors and need re-initialization, such as a network sink, a
USB device sink (v4l2), etc.
* Transmits arbitrary data, not just audio/video/subs
* Can easily implement 1 producer pipeline -> N dynamic consumer
pipelines within a single process when combined with the `tee`
element.
All queries, events, buffers, and buffer lists are proxied. State
changes, clocks, and base times for the two pipelines are independent
since the upstream and downstreams continue to be different pipelines.

gdpdepay element uses the decide_allocation to fetch the downstream
allocator. Nonetheless it is possible that allocate uses a custom
alloc function, which is not usable by gdpdepay, crashing later the
application when the allocater buffer is NULL.
This patch checks for the allocator flags and reset it if the
allocator has a custom alloc function.

When querying downstream for allocation, and the source caps hasn't
set its caps, using ANY by default, it raises a critical message in
console:
CRITICAL **: gst_video_info_from_caps: assertion 'gst_caps_is_fixed (caps)' failed
This patch bails out decide_allocation() if the caps aren't fixed.

This information could be used for example to pick a decoder supporting
a specific chroma and/or bit depth, like 4:2:2 10 bits.
It can also be used to inform earlier decoder about the format it is
about to decode.

This fixes issues where wavparse would query the file size upstream
and assert because the file size is way smaller then what the WAVE
header says. This patch disable or cane a handful of queries that
make no sense to forward.

"avwait-status" is posted when avwait starts or stops passing through
data (e.g. because target-timecode and end-timecode respectively have
been reached). The attached structure includes a "dropping" boolean (set
to TRUE if we are currently dropping data, FALSE otherwise), and a
"running-time" GST_CLOCK_TIME which contains the running time of the
change.

Reordering of packets is not very common in networks, and the delay
functions will always introduce reordering if delay > packet-spacing,
so by setting allow-reordering to FALSE you guarantee that the packets
are in order, while at the same time introducing delay/jitter to them.
By using the property "delay-distribution" the user can control how the
delay applied to delayed packets is distributed. This is either the
uniform distribution (as before) or the normal distribution.
"min-delay" and "max-delay" control both distributions. For the normal
distribution it defines the bounds of the 95% confidence interval.
When input is not in byte-stream format there is no need to wait for the first
buffer before setting src caps. We already have all the information from the
input codec_data.
This allow us to already configure downstream elements allowing them,
for example, to already allocate their internal buffers as they know
the format of the input they are about to receive.
Same change as the one I just did in h264parse.

Try prioritizing downstream's caps over upstream's if possible so the
parser can configured in "passthrough" if possible and save it from
doing useless conversions.

A deserialised timecode has a framerate of 0/1 by default. That breaks
it when comparing the frames field with another timecode (incoming from
the frame). We were setting the framerate when receiving the caps event,
but not when setting the timecode in set_property, so it was broken for
timecodes set after the caps event.
Also checking if the fps_n we got from the caps event is != 0 before
setting it - also at the caps event.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790334
Now that timecodes support proper serialisation / deserialisation, a
timecode might have an invalid fps_n / fps_d even without using the
target-time-code-string property. Detect those cases and set fps_n/fps_d
properly.
If end_tc is NULL, it means that we don't want avwait to stop at any
timecode. When explicitly setting end_tc to NULL, there is no point in
comparing end_tc with start_tc (to see if we'll reject end_tc for being
before start_tc), so the check in question is completely disabled
instead of letting it crash.
