Improve the propose allocation vmethod by passing the downstream allocation
query to it. This way the vmethod implementation can use properties of the
downstream allocation to generate the upstream query result. If there is no
downstream quety, it means that the element is working in passthrough mode.
Implement a default decide_allocation.
Split out the registration of the metadata API and its implementation. Make a
GType for each metadata API. This allows us to store extra information with the
API type such as the tags.
Change the buffer API so that we can get the metadata using the API GType.
Change the query API so that we use the metadata API GType in the allocation
query instead of a string.
Update netaddress and unit tests
Add support for adding tags to the metadata. with some standard keys, this
should make it possible to describe what the metadata refers to. We should be
able to use this information to decide if a transformation destroys the metadata
or not.
Rename gst_base_transform_suggest to gst_base_transform_reconfigure_sink because
that is what it does. Also remove the caps and size because that is not needed.
Rename gst_base_transform_reconfigure to gst_base_transform_reconfigure_src.
Remove some old unused code in capsfilter.
Flesh out the transform method. Add a type and extra info to the transform
function so that implementation can transform the metadata.
Remove the copy function and replace with the more generic transform.
Always call the propose_allocation method and provide a default implementation
that passes the query on in passthrough mode so that subclasses can also call
this. Also pass if the transform is in passthrough mode so that the
implementation can adjust its algorithm.
Make it possible to also implement non-inplace fixate functions. Let the fixate
function make the caps writable when needed because some fixate functions might
not need to modify the caps.
Make it possible to configure a GDestroyNotify and user_data for
gst_memory_new_wrapped() this allows for more flexible wrapping of foreign
memory blocks.
Use a frame flag to signal to subclass it should reset any retained
state w.r.t. frame parsing since the frame being passed is 'new',
i.e. not related to previously passed and processed data.
Make the pad activation code look more like other activation code.
Only start the sinkpad task when we decide to activate in pull mode, when we
later add srcpad pullmode this will be needed.
... so as to allow the push-mode case to provide data to subclass
on a buffer by buffer basis (as in regular forward case), rather
than all buffers of a fragment chucked together.
Also refactor buffer handling some more, and add some debug.
... since that is already handled by _update_duration, or should not be done
altogether if the duration is determined by non-estimated means.
Fixes#669502.
Clean up the prepare_output_buffer function.
Reuse the input buffer when it is writable and when doing an
in-place but non-passthrough transform.
Move the copy-metadata function call to the prepare_output_buffer default
function. If subclasses implement a custom prepare_output_buffer, they must also
copy the metadata themselves.
Remove a useless memory copy because prepare_output_buffer already did that.
Place the allocator object in the ALLOCATION query instead of the name. This
allows us to exchange allocators that are not in the global pool of allocators.
Update elements for the new api
Add refcounting to the GstAllocator object.
Remove const from functions because the allocator is refcounted now.
Rename the vmethods for consistency
Expose the constructor for GstAllocator and add a destroy notify for the
user_data. This should make it possible to create allocators that are not
registered and shared globally along with the possibility to destroy them
properly.
Update defs with new symbols.
This is now bindings firendly as _new is just a classic c convenience and all
the work is done in a constructor. As a side effect _new never fails.
Fix the tests.
And only forward the allocation query if we're working in
passthrough mode if no ::propose_allocation is implemented.
In place buffer transformations will change the buffer
content and require explicit handling of all metas.
When _clear gets called between _map and _unmap, buffers
will be unreffed. If the adapter was mapped, memory leaks
may occur.
While calling _clear between _map and _unmap does not seem
like such a great idea, this is possible in the audio
encoder base class, as _clear may be called in _finish_frame.
Since the audio encoder relies on flushing to keep track of
timestamps, delaying flushing till after handle_frame seems
dangerous.
So, we unmap on clear, as the next unmap will do nothing.
This makes _clear safe to call between _map and _unmap,
while avoiding leaking the mapped buffer.

GstBaseParse was not clearing its adapter on reset causing
problems when a pipeline went for example from PLAYING to NULL
state and then back to PLAYING again. The data from the last
stream would be used in the parser.
