This fixes wrong mapping for sRGB as in GStreamer sRGB correctly
apply to RGB formats, while in V4L2 it's an alias for sYCC. Also
add support for the new quantization (range), ycbcr_encoding (matrix)
and xfer_func (transfer) enumeration.
This is the latest from media tree. This should enable more development
of the v4l2 elements. This includes new flags requires to fix draining
path in decoder, colorimetry and much more.

The ringbuffer does allow renegotiation, so we do not have to report

In the V4L2 single-planar API, when format is semi-planar/planar,
drivers expect the planes to be contiguous in memory.
So this commit change the way we handle semi-planar/planar format
(n_planes > 1) when we use the single-planar API (group->n_mem == 1).
To check that planes are contiguous and have expected size, ie: no
padding. We test the fact that plane 'i' start address + plane 'i'
expected size equals to plane 'i + 1' start address. If not, we return
in error.
Math are done in bufferpool rather than in allocator because the
former is aware of video info.

Offset are relative to the buffer and there is no guarantee substracting
them will give us the plane size. So we let bufferpool make the math as
it is more aware of video info than allocator and pass a size array to
allocator import function.

Fixes stuttering audio when iOS AU is resampling. To make AU resample,
one has to request a rate that differs from AVAudioSession's
sampleRate. The resampling itself is not the culprit, but rather our
API misuse.
AudioUnitRender modifies the mDataByteSize members with the
actual read bytes count. Therefore, they must be reinitialized
before each AudioUnitRender. (The buffers themselves can be
preallocated.)
The "stutter" was caused by one AudioUnitRender making the buffer
too small for other AudioUnitRender invocations, making them fail
with -50 (paramErr). By way of luck, when AU didn't resample, all
AudioUnitRender invocations read the same number of bytes.
(This patch addresses some non-interleaved audio concerns, but
at this moment the elements do not support non-interleaved audio
and non-interleaved is untested.)

When there is no allocation parameters in the query, enable copy
threshold. When this threshold is reached, the buffer pool will start
copying when the pool reaches a critical level. If the driver supports
CREATE_BUFS, this will be used instead.
When we hit emulated formats, we disable CREATE_BUFS since libv4l2
cope very badly with it. Also clear the allocator flags so we will
never try to allocate more buffers. This fixes failure when the copy
threshold is reached as we where calling CREATE_BUFS, which lead to
libv4l2 instability.
In the fraction 1 / 2. 1 is the numerator and 2 is the denominator.
The arguments of fraction gst_value_set_fractions() are value,
numerator and denominator.
Also, gst_value_set_fraction() fails if denominator is 0 for obvious
reasons.
When importing buffers from a downstream pool, we need to deactivate
that pool to ensure it will be usable again later. Relying on the
refcount to reach zero does not work, since elements like xvimagesink
keeps a reference on their proposed pool.
When memory (that has been shared using gst_memory_share()) are freed,
the memory (or the DMABUF FD) should not bee freed. These memories have
a parent. This also removes the extra _v4l2mem_free function and avoid
calling close twice on the DMABUF FD.

Replace the sink_query with new getcaps() virtual and use the proxy
helper with the probed caps. This allow upstream element taking decision
base on what is supported downstream.
The hack causes deadlocks and other interesting problems and it really
can only be fixed properly inside GLib. We will include a patch for
GLib in our builds for now that handles this, and hopefully at some
point GLib will also merge a proper solution.
A proper solution would first require to refactor the polling in
GMainContext to only provide a single fd, e.g. via epoll/kqueue
or a thread like the one added by our patch. Then this single
fd could be retrieved from the GMainContext and directly integrated
into a NSRunLoop.

v4l2loopback driver has a this nasty bug that if the queue is larger
then 2 buffers, it returns random index on dqbuf. So far we assumed
that the index was always right, which would lead to memory being
unref twice, and eventually crash.
As the buffer array is fixed size and small, it's safer to simply
use this static size to cleanup the buffers. This is also more
consistent with the rest. The associated method is no longer
required and can be dropped.
This partly revert to the old 1.2 behavior. Instead of keeping a
reference to the output buffer queued, we simply release them but
don't forward it to GstBufferPool. This way, the buffer pool don't
need to be flushed to be stopped.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742074
Failing streamoff prevents allocator from being disposed hence
lead to device FD leak. There is no known cases where streamoff
may fails for which we'd still be streaming. streamoff is known
to fail when a device is being unplugged (in which case errno
19/ENODEV is set).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732734
After creating the ringbuffer we have to set the device on the ringbuffer as
it defaults to kAudioDeviceUnknown. At this point it can't have changed to
anything else yet and we don't have to notify about changes to the sink/src
"device" property. It's also not a good idea because GstAudioBaseSrc has the
object lock taken while the ringbuffer is created, which might cause a
deadlock if something calls back into the element from "notify::device".
Once the base class is done with the NULL_TO_READY state change, it has opened
the device via the ringbuffer and this might have chosen a different device.
Especially if we initially used kAudioDeviceUnknown. Also notify about this
property change as initially intended by this code.
It looks like libv4l2 support for CREATE_BUF is incomplete. That
combine with existing bugs may lead to crash in GStreamer. These
check will make it robust by:
- Checking create buf index isn't an already in used index
- Checking that the index out of QUERYBUF matches the requested
index
Right now we try to be clever by detecting if device format have
changed or not, and skip setting format in this case. This is valid
behaviour with V4L2, but it's also very error prone. The rational
for not setting these all the time is for speed, though I can't
measure any noticeable gain on any HW I own. Also, until recently,
we where doing get/set on the format for each format we where
probing, making it near to impossible that the format would match.
This also fixes bug where we where skipping frame-rate setting if
format didn't change.

It's unlikely that setting a channel layout will do much for AC3/DTS
streams. If we find at some point that it does make sense, we can
perform the structure copying unconditionally (i.e., the current code is

layout, one without).

Now that device selection has no sink/source-specific bits, we can have
generic device selection for this path. We do need to now track state

though.

This is conceptually the right thing to do, and allows us to correctly
catch errors in device selection as well, which we could not do while
creating the ringbuffer.

When libv4l2 emulates RW mode on top of MMAP devices, the queues are

This patch fixes CREATE_BUFS support for capture devices. Initially we
would only try and allocate more buffers when the copy threshold
is reached. When the threshold was not set (needed) it would never
happen. Another problem is that on capture side, acquire returns
filled buffer, hence need to pool. We need to set a special flag to
force allocation to happen.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741134
This allow skipping buffer flagged with ERROR that has no payload.
This is typical behaviour when a recovererable error occured during
capture in the driver, but that no valid data was ever written into that
buffer. This patch also translate V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR into
GST_BUFFER_FLAG_CORRUPTED. Hence decoding error produce
by decoder due to missing frames will now be correctly marked. Finally,
this fixes a buffer leak when EOS is reached.

Rather than try and guess interlace support as part of checking supported
sizes, look for interlace support specifically in its own function.
As a cleanup, use V4L2_FIELD_ANY when probing sizes, which should result in
the driver doing the right thing.
With my capture setup, this gets me the following sample caps:
For 1080i resolution:
video/x-raw, format=(string)YUY2, width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, interlace-mode=(string)interleaved, framerate=(fraction){ 25/1, 30/1 }
For 720p resolution:
video/x-raw, format=(string)YUY2, width=(int)1280, height=(int)720, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, interlace-mode=(string)progressive, framerate=(fraction){ 50/1, 60/1 }
For 576i/p resolution (both possible at the point of query):
video/x-raw, format=(string)YUY2, width=(int)720, height=(int)576, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, interlace-mode=(string){ progressive, interleaved }, framerate=(fraction){ 25/1, 50/1 }
This, in turn, makes 576i work correctly; with the old code,
the caps would be interlace-mode=progressive for interlaced video.

On streamon failure, the queued buffer is not released from the
bufferpool class point of view because it is queued to the driver and
the flush logic is not performed since we are not in streaming state.
It causes the v4l2 bufferpool to always return that stop method failed
and to leak v4l2 objects and buffers.
This commit solve this by performing the flush logic in error case, ie
flushing the allocator and restoring queued buffer state to non-queued.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738102
This will prevent deadlocks, but will also properly flush the pool and allocator
when going to READY state. It should also fix issues reported on mailing list

When the v4l2 device is an output device, the application shall set the

Use XQueryPointer to check that the pointer is actually active inside
the capturing region.
This prevents drawing the cursor when the pointer is partially outside
of the captured region but not active inside the region; in particular
this avoids drawing the "window resize" cursor shapes to the captured
image when the mouse pointer crosses a window border.
NOTE that this is not only an optimization, this also happen to fix
a serious problem in multi-screen setups.
Because XFixes gives no information of what screen the pointer is on,
ximagesrc was always drawing the cursor on the captured screen even if
the mouse pointer was on another screen.
For example, when capturing from screen 1 (i.e. display-name=":0.1") the
cursor was drawn in the captured image even when the mouse pointer was
actually on screen 0, which is wrong and visually confusing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690646
When the cursor is partially or totally out of the capturing region on
the top side or on the left side, it gets drawn fully inside of the
region with its coordinates rounded up to the left or to the top border.
This is immediately noticeable when using the xid property to capture
a specific window.
To fix the issue, allow negative cx and cx coordinates when checking the
boundaries before drawing the cursor.
NOTE that the boundaries checking calculations still allows the cursor
to be drawn when it is only partially outside of the capturing region,
but this makes sense and gives a more pleasing visual behaviour.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690646
XFixes provides the cursor coordinates relative to the root window, this
is not taken into account when using the xid property to capture
a specific window, the result is that the cursor gets drawn at the wrong
position.
In order to fix this consider the window location when calculating the
cursor position in the destination image.

There is still around 18 drivers not yet ported to videobuf2. These driver

supported. Note that an allocator is only created for device with
STREAMING support in the device capabilities. In such case one of MMAP,
USERPTR and DMABUF is required. Though DMABUF came afterward, so is
not an option and in practice none of these drivers will only do USERPTR.

Since we can get the minimum number of buffers needed by an output

Most V4L2 ioctls like try_fmt will adjust input fields to match what the
hardware can do rather then returning -EINVAL. As is docmented here:
http://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/vidioc-g-fmt.html
EINVAL is only returned if the buffer type field is invalid or not supported.
So upon requesting V4L2_FIELD_NONE devices which can only do interlaced
mode will change the field value to e.g. V4L2_FIELD_BOTTOM as only returning
half the lines is the closest they can do to progressive modes.
In essence this means that we've failed to get a (usable) progessive mode
and should fall back to interlaced mode.
This commit adds a check for having gotten a usable field value after the first
try_fmt, to force fallback to interlaced mode even if the try_fmt succeeded,
thereby fixing get_nearest_size failing on these devices.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735660
They may have been modified by the ioctl even if it failed. This also makes
the S_FMT fallback path try progressive first, making it consistent with the

In kernel before 3.17, polling during queue underrun would unblock right

Secondly, we would add and probe each individual stepped
frame size to the caps as separate structure, which would
lead to hundreds if not thousands of structs ending up in

This is required as during preroll we pass the first buffer twice, hence already
queued. It is also useful, to allow filters replaying a previous rendered buffers.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722303
For output device, we where queuing all the buffers, and then we would
dequeue one. This means we only have 1 buffer for the pipeline, no matter
the size of the queue. Instead, start dequeued when min_latency is reached.
Eventually, this the min_latency should also be affected by control
MIN_BUFFERS_FOR_OUTPUT (use by encoders).
Calculation of num_buffers (the max latency in buffers) was
up-side-down. If we can allcoate, then our maximum latency match
pool maximum number of buffers. Also renamed it to max latency. Finally
introduced a min_latency for clarity.
Fix the choice of min/max, don't override the min/max with own pool selected
size, correct other_pool is_active check, start from other_pool config when
configuring the other pool and finally validate the configuration.
The decodeing thread returning flushing isn't an error, we should simply
try starting the task again. If it's actually flushing, it will stop again by itself.
From time to time, when the image_pool list has more then 1 element
and I suppose at start, all but 1 pooled ximage are leaked. This is
due to broken algorithm in gst_ximagesink_src_ximage_get(). There was
also a risk of use after free for the case where the ximage size has
changed.

We need to handle the case where a flush occure while the streaming

When extrapolating the offset, we need to use the extrapolate
stride rather then the base stride. This should fix support for format
with more then two planes (I420, Y42B, etc).
When doing frame operation, we need to use the default VideoInfo
and let the frame API read the video meta in order to get the stride
and offset right. Currently we where using the specialized VideoInfo
which reflects what the HW is setup to.
Simplify framerate field if possible, so we don't end up with
e.g. framerate = (fraction) { 30/1 }. Maybe the helper function
