This is made possible by filtering errors. This is required to let
harware accelerated element query the video context. The video context
is used to determine if the HW is capable, and thus if the element is
supported or not.
Fixes bug #662330.
If the pad block never happens because there is no data flow at all, the
callback is never fired and the reference is never released. This causes a
reference cycle between the pad and element, so valgrind is not very vocal
about it (memory is still reachable).
The bins' getcaps was bypassing the inner elements, and thus
failing to account for the caps transformations they allow,
which caused YUV video pipelines to fail with ximagesink, which
does not support YUV, even though the convenience bin includes
a colorspace converter for just this purpose.

The new code was checking for a prefix, and would find video/
first. Check in two passes, first checking for a perfect match,
and falling back to a prefix check if nothing was found.

Re-enable parsers in encodebin to allow more passthrough scenarios
to work. Specially the ones that require changing 'stream formats'.
i.e. h264 in mkv to mpegts.
The fact that a decoder is not compatible with the fixed sink
is currently happenning in the case where we have hardware accelerated
video decoders on the system (especially vaapi elements that are actually plugged),
and the user is providing a sink that doesn't support the surface.
A simple example that shows how it used to crash on a system where gstreamer-vaapi
is installed:
gst-launch playbin2 video-sink=xvimagesink uri=/codec/supported/by/vaapi
What we are now doing in this case, is avoid using the accelerated
decoder and plug a "normal" decoder instead (if avalaible).
This commit doesn't handle the case where we have hardware accelerated
demuxing.
The condition is if the muxer doesn't have tag setter *and* isn't
a formatter itself. Any of those two conditions makes the muxer
good enough to not need a formatter.
gstsubtitleoverlay.c: In function 'gst_subtitle_overlay_video_sink_event':
gstsubtitleoverlay.c:1736:22: error: 'target' may be used uninitialized in this function
There's no code whatsoever that uses these macros. If anyone
ever feels the need to resurrect them, we should add them to
gstutils.h in core or libgstaudio or so.
In various use-case you want to dynamically change the framerate (e.g.
live streams where the available network bandwidth changes). Doing this
via capsfilters in the pipeline tends to be very cumbersome and racy,
using this property instead makes it very painless.
With unfixed caps we can't reliably decide if the final caps
are going to be "raw" (e.g. supported by a sink) or not.
We will get here again later when the caps are fixed.
