The program_number attribute was overloaded, trying to indicate both
the currently playing program, and the program requested via the
"program-number" property. The end result was that setting the
property didn't work (see #690934).
I added a new requested_program_number field rather than reviving the
current_program_number field because it seemed this would result in
fewer changes overall and be less confusing. It breaks symmetry with
the "program-number" property, but it retains parallels with the likes
of program->program_number.
Because gst_ts_demux_reset is called after the properties have been
parsed, requested_program_number is initialised in gst_ts_demux_init.
Whether this is exactly the right place, I don't know.
Setting the program-number property does not affect which program
is actually being demuxed.
Moving the initialization of the program_number from
gst_ts_demux_reset to gst_ts_demux_init seems to fix this issue.

* Avoids handling twice the same seek (can happen with playbin and files
with subtitles)
* Set the sequence number of the segment event to the sequence number of
the seek event that generated it (-1 for the initial one).
The seeking start time is approximated from the seek offset in bytes
using the accumulated PCR observations, so on a VBR stream there might
be a big difference between the actual PCR and the estimated one after
the seek. This might result in a long wait to skip all out of segments
packets.
Instead we just recalculate the new segment to start at the first PTS
after the seek, so that playback starts immediatly.
This is actually a workaround (we'll be skipping the upcoming section)
This will only happen for sections where the beginning is located within
the last 8 bytes of a packet (which is the minimum we need to properly
identify any section beginning).
Later we should figure out a way to store those bytes and mark that
some analysis needs to happen. The probability of this happening is
too low for me to care right now and do that fix. There is a good chance
that section will eventually be repeated and won't end up on such border.
* packet.origts is no longer used since the PCR refactoring done ages ago
* known_packet_size is a duplicate of packet_size != 0
* caps was never used outside of the packetizer
We had two issues with the previous code:
1) We were badly handling PUSI-flagged packets. We were discarding the
initial data (if pointer != 0) whereas we should have been accumulating
it with the previous data (if there was a continuity of course).
=> First series of information loss
2) We were not checking whether there were more sections after the end
of one (i.e. when the following byte was not a stuff byte).
This fixes those two issues.
Fixes#677443https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677443
Until now we simply ignored those streams (since we couldn't do anything
with it anyway). Now that we have the mpegts library and we offload the
section handling to the application side we can properly identify and
extract them.
By default it is disabled for tsparse and enabled for tsdemux, but there is
a property to change that.
This should open the way to properly handle all private section streams,
including:
* DSM-CC
* MHEG
* Carousel data
* Metadata streams (though I haven't seen any of those in the wild)
* ... And all other specs/protocols making use of those
Partially fixes#560631
Since we now send all sections to the packetizer, we no longer need to do
anymore in-depth checks for the validity of a section.
The choice boils down to:
1) Is it from a known PES pid ? If so pass it on (which might be just pushing
downstream in the case of tsparse, or accumulating PES data for tsdemux)
2) Is it from a known SI pid ? If so pass it to the section packetizer
We still have some other stream types which haven't been ported, but
we will do so once we have defined the enums in the mpegts library.
Also add some FIXMEs regarding items discovered during analysis
* Only mpeg-ts section packetization remains.
* Improve code to detect duplicated sections as early as possible
* Add FIXME for various issues that need fixing (but are not regressions)

We use add_stream(stream_type:-1) to ensure a programs' PCR Stream is
also taken into account. For most programs this will re-use an
existing ES stream.
So only warn that we are re-adding a stream if it was already present
AND it is not to ensure the PCR stream is taken into account.
Only create subtables when needed. It was previously creating one every
single time ... to check if one was present.
And speed up code to detect whether a subtable was already present or not.
Overall makes section pushing 2 times faster.
In some cases (NIT on highly-populated DVB-C operator for example), there
will be more than one section emitted for the same subtable and version
number.
In order not to lose those updates for the same version number, we checked
against the CRC of the previous section we parsed.
The problem is that, while it made sure we didn't lose any information, it
also meant that if the same section came back (same version, same CRC) later
on we would re-process it, re-parse it and re-emit it.
This version improves on that by keeping a list of previously observed CRC
for identical PID/subtable/version-number and will only process sections if
they really were never seen in the past (as opposed to just before).
On a 30s clip, this brings down the number of NIT section parsing from 4541
down to 663.

First send stream-start, then caps, then segment.
The segment we push is from upstream in push-mode. If we work in pull-mode
then we initialize the base segment to BYTES.

Sync byte scan is incorrect for M2TS streams because the timestamp 4
bytes were not included in the flush size. This can result in an
infinite loop.
Rework the scan code to be clearer and work in all cases.
descriptors are stored as a GValueArray of GString. The downside is
that there is no way to "pass" ownership of a GValue to a GValueArray
which previously resulted in expensive copy/free of the (already expensive)
GString.
Here we estimate first the size of the GValueArray, then create it,
then directly use the GValue of that array.
Speeds up total SI parsing by ~30%
Since there is a conflict between the DCII stream type and BluRay
stream types, moved the processing of BluRay-specific stream types
to the beginning of the function. Only if a BluRay stream type
IS NOT found do we proceed to check the rest of the stream type
identifiers
Previous code was also "sort-of" handling a similar conflict between
BluRay AC3 audio and standard AC3 audio. Moved the special case BluRay
AC3 handling in the main switch statement to the new BluRay-specific
switch.

And if we detect a discontinuity there (like... when losing packets
or having MPEGTS over raw UDP with out-of-order packets) we just
drop the corresponding packet.
A future version could try to implement a re-ordering algorithm based
on that, similar to what rtpjitterbuffer does.
