This patch adds API in the audio decoder base class for setting the arbitrary
caps on the source pad. Previously only caps converted from audio info were
possible. This is particularly useful when subclass wants to set caps features
for audio decoder producing metadata.
This is useful if the output buffers are planar and have extra padding
on each plane, in which case size/bpf does not represent the number of
valid samples.

Aggregation will break the layout, as it concatenates buffers,
and fixing it here would be much more inefficient than configuring
the actual decoder implementation to output larger buffers.

Refuse to answer BYTES queries ourselves. The only
time they make sense is on raw elementary streams,
in which case upstream would already have answered.
They especially don't make sense for encoders to answer
based on upstream values - although perhaps later
we could make it do TIME->BYTES conversion on the source
pad based on bitrate.

Elements inherited from GstAudioDecoder, supporting PLC and introducing
delay produce invalid timestamps. Good example is opusdec with in-band FEC
enabled. After receiving GAP event it delays the audio concealment until
the next buffer arrives. The next buffer will have DISCONT flag set which
will make GstAudioDecoder to reset it's internal state, thus forgetting
the timestamp of GAP event. As a result the concealed audio will have the
timestamp of the next buffer (with DISCONT flag) but not the timestamp
from the event.
Since the allocation query caps contains memory size and the pad's caps
contains the display size, an audio encoder or decoder might need to allocate
a different buffer size than the size negotiated in the caps.
This patch splits this logic distinction for audiodecoder and audioencoder.
Thus the user, if needs a different allocation caps, should set it through
gst_audio_{encoder,decoder}_set_allocation_cap() before calling the negotiate()
vmethod. Otherwise the allocation_caps will be the same as the caps in the
src pad.

gst_pad_get_allowed_caps() will return NULL if the srcpad has no peer.
In that case, use gst_pad_peer_query_caps() with template caps as filter
to have negotiated output caps properly before forwarding GAP event.

Rename _get_default_mask() to _get_fallback_mask() to make it more
clear that the function only provides a fallback if nothing else can be
done. Also clarify this in the documentation.
API: gst_audio_channel_get_fallback_mask()
Before we just merged everything in pretty much random ways
ad-hoc instead of keeping state properly. In 0.10 that was
how it worked, but in 1.x the tag events sent should always
reflect the latest state and replace any previous tags.
So save the upstream (stream) tags, and save the tags set
by the decoder subclass with merge mode, and then update
the merged tags whenever either of those two changes.
This slightly changes the behaviour of gst_audio_decoder_merge_tags()
in case it is called multiple times, since now any call replaces
the previously-set tags. However, it leads to much more predictable
outcomes, and also we are not aware of any subclass which sets this
multiple times and expects all the tags set to be merged.
If more complex tag merging scenarios are required, we'll have
to add a new vfunc for that or the subclass has to intercept
the upstream tags itself and send merged tags itself.

Apparently I forgot how gobject works, there is no need to expose
it directly as one can call it from the parent_class pointer
This reverts commit 8a64592481.
Add gst_audio_decoder_set_use_default_pad_acceptcaps() to allow
subclasses to make videodecoder use the default pad acceptcaps
handling instead of resorting to the caps query that is, usually,
less efficient and unecessary
API: gst_audio_decoder_set_use_default_pad_acceptcaps
Subclasses can use it to select what queries they want to handle
and forward the rest to the default handling function.
API: gst_audio_decoder_sink_query_default

POOL meta just means that this specific instance of the meta is related to a
pool, a copy should be made when reasonable and the flag should just not be
set in the copy.
We only get here if we don't have any srcpad caps, and we're going
to override the GstAudioInfo a few lines below anyway without ever
using it if for whatever reason we get caps here.
memcmp will blindly compare the reserved fields, as well as any
padding the compiler may choose to sprinkle in GstSegment.
Fixes valgrind complaints in unit tests, as well as some found via
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738216
Make sure to update the output segment to track the segment
we're decoding in, but don't actually push it downstream until
after buffers are decoded.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744806
If we have timestamps on input buffers and are in trickmode no-audio
mode, then don't pass anything to the subclass for decode and simply
send gap events downstream
Only for forward playback for now - reverse requires accumulating
GAP events and pushing out in reverse order.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735666
The decoder can fail to drain on EOS if there was only one gather
set, because it will never have sent the segment event downstream
and set the output segment, and fail to detect that the rate < 0.0
Make sure to send pending events before sending all the gather data
for decode.
