Year 12: I still don't understand how negotiation works.
Apparently gst_pad_query_caps doesn't do what I thought it did. To get the
actual caps that can flow through vtdec:src we must call gst_pad_peer_query_caps
with the template caps as filter.
Fixes negotiation with stuff that doesn't understand GLMemory (hello videoscale).
This provides a performance and power usage improvement by removing
the texture copy from an OES texture to 2D texture.
The flow is as follows
1. Generate the output buffer with the required sync meta with the incrementing
push counter and OES GL memory
1.1 release_output_buffer (buf, render=true) and push downstream
2. Downstream waits for on the sync meta (timed wait) or drops the frame (no wait)
2.1 Timed wait for the frame number to reach the number of frame callbacks fired
2.2 Unconditionally update the image when the wait completes (success or fail).
Sets the affine transformation matrix meta on the buffer.
3. Downstream renders as usual.
At *some* point through this the on_frame_callback may or may not fire. If it
does fire, we can finish waiting early and render. Otherwise we have to
wait for a timeout to occur which may cause more buffers to be pused into the
internal GL queue which siginificantly decreases the chances of the
on_frame_callback to fire again. This is because the frame callback only occurs
when the internal GL queue changes state from empty to non-empty.
Because there is no way to reliably correlate between the number of buffers
pushed and the number of frame callbacks received, there are a number of
workarounds in place.
1. We self-increment the ready counter when it falls behind the push counter
2. Time based waits as the frame callback may not be fired for a certain frame.
3. It is assumed that the device can render at speed or performs some QoS of
the interal GL queue (which may not match the GStreamer QoS).
It holds that we call SurfaceTexture::updateTexImage for each buffer pushed
downstream however there's no guarentee that updateTexImage will result in
the exact next frame (it could skip or duplicate) so synchronization is not
guaranteed to be accurate although it seems to be close enough to be unable
to discern visually. This has not changed from before this patch. The current
requirement for synchronization is that updateTexImage is called at the point in
time when the buffers is to be rendered.

Rework negotiation implementing GstVideoDecoder::negotiate. Make it possible to
switch texture sharing on and off at runtime. Useful to (eventually) turn
texture sharing on in pipelines where glimagesink is linked only after
decoding has already started (for example OWR).
Improve decode error handling by avoiding calling into GstVideoDecoder from the
VT decode callback. This removes contention on the GST_VIDEO_DECODER_STREAM_LOCK
which used to make the decode callback slow enough for VT to start dropping lots
of frames once the first frame was dropped.
Otherwise, gst_vtenc_negotiate_profile_and_level will double-release as
it checks for profile_level != NULL. This caused crashes when the
vtenc instance is stopped and then restarted.

Use gst_gl_sized_gl_format_from_gl_format_type to get the format passed to
CVOpenGLESTextureCacheCreateTextureFromImage. Before this change extracting the
second texture from the pixel buffer was failing on ios 9.1.
No need to use G_GINT64_FORMAT for potentially negative values of
GstClockTimeDiff. Since 1.6 these can be handled with GST_STIME_ARGS.
Plus it creates more readable values in the logs.

Solved with a simple shader templating mechanism and string replacements
of the necessary sampler types/texture accesses and texture coordinate
mangling for rectangular and external-oes textures.
Add the various tokens/strings for the differnet texture types (2D, rect, oes)
Changes the GLmemory api to include the GstGLTextureTarget in all relevant
functions.
Update the relevant caps/templates for 2D only textures.
Otherwise we're going to return times starting at 0 again after shutting down
an element for a specific input/output and then using it again later.

GstVideoDecoder has its own logic for detecting when to reconfigure
which ultimately calls decide_allocation and results in a new
texture cache that has not been configured from our reconfigure check.

Fixes playback to GL memory on iOS, where the colours are messed
up by passing Luminance/LuminanceAlpha textures where
color convert expects R/RG textures.

We were converting all times to our internal running times, that is the time
the sink itself spent in PLAYING already. But forgot to do that for the
running time calculated from the buffer timestamps. As such, all buffers were
scheduled much later if the pipeline's running time did not start at 0.
This happens for example if a base time is explicitly set on the pipeline.

Casting to UINT from HMIXER generates the following warning with
64bit Windows target MinGW:
gstdirectsoundsrc.c: In function 'gst_directsound_src_mixer_find':
gstdirectsoundsrc.c:733:30: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
mmres = mixerGetDevCaps ((UINT) dsoundsrc->mixer,

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
We can use portable GPOINTER_TO_UINT() macro for this propose.

Instead of checking for the gstreamer-video-1.0 package is installed,
just assume it is since we already check for the -base dependency.
With this replace the GST_VIDEO_* variables in makefiles and directly
link with libgstvideo.

Also implement framerate handling correctly by borrowing the code from
ximagesrc. GstBaseSrc::get_times() can't be used for that, we have to
implement proper waiting ourselves.
The block that is dispatched async to the main thread assumed the
wrapping GstAvSampleVideoSink to be alive. However, at the time of
the block execution the GstObject instance that is deferenced to access
the CA layer might already be freed, which caused occasional crashes.
Instead, we now only pass the CoreAnimation layer that needs to be
released to the block. We use __block to make sure the block is not
increasing the refcount of the CA layer again on its own.

CMBlockBuffer offers a model similar to GstBuffer, as it can
consist of multiple non-consecutive memory blocks.
Prior to this change, what we were doing was:
1) Incorrect:
CMBlockBufferCreateWithMemoryBlock does not copy the data,
but we gst_buffer_unmap'd right away.
2) Inefficient:
If the GstBuffer consisted of non-contiguous memory blocks,
gst_buffer_map resulted in malloc / memcpy.
With this change, we construct a CMBlockBuffer out of individual mapped
GstMemory objects. CMBlockBuffer is made to retain the GstMemory
objects (through the use of CMBlockBufferCustomBlockSource), so the
original GstBuffer can be unref'd.

All goto fail happen before ret is set. ret must be NULL, and the only
thing the fail statement block does is return NULL. Replacing the jumps to
do this return directly.
CID #1311329
CMBlockBufferGetDataLength would return the entire data length, while
size of individual blocks can be smaller. Iterate over the block buffer
and add the individual (possibly non-contiguous) memory blocks.

When AVFoundation indicates a supported frame rate range, add it to
the caps. This is important for devices such as the iPhone 6, which
indicate a single AVFrameRateRange of 2fps - 60fps.

In JNI_OnLoad() we will already get the Java VM passed and could
just directly use that. gstreamer_android-1.0.c will now provide
this to us.
Reason for this is that apparently not all Android system are
providing the JNI functions to get the currently running Java VMs, so
we would fail to get. With this we will always be able to get the Java
VM on such systems.
We only need that if no Java VM is running yet, and all usual cases,
i.e. when calling GStreamer from an actual Android app, there will already
be a Java VM we can just use.
It seems like some phones come without that symbol, let's hope they come
with the other symbol but for now don't make a missing JNI_CreateJavaVM fatal.
This allows us to signal what kind of audio we are expecting to record,
which should tell the system to apply filters (such as echo
cancellation, noise suppression, etc.) if required.
Even when we fail to encode frame, we should still enqueue it so
it could be passed into handle_frame (with output_buffer == NULL).
Otherwise, we risk GstVideoEncoder's queue of frames growing unbounded.
Note: We're slightly changing the renegotiation code to accommodate for
frames without output buffers, but this commit takes no ownership over
the way negotiation is being done.

VTCompressionSessionEncodeFrame retains the CVPixelBuffer during
encoding, and will release it as soon as it can (e.g. before it even
calls our callback). This means we can safely release input buffer
at this point, possibly allowing the system to reuse it sooner.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750671
Copying arbitrary metas is going to cause problems and this should really be
handled by the base class. It overrides most other things already anyway,
including timestamp and duration. Those are just set here now so we can
insert the frame sorted into the queue.

OMX.Exynos. codecs are existing on some devices like the
Galaxy S5 mini, and cause random crashes (of the device,
not the app!) and generally misbehave. That specific device
has other codecs that work with a different name, but let's
just give them marginal rank in case there are devices that
have no other codecs and these are actually the only working
ones
On some devices there are codecs that don't start with OMX., while
there are also some that do. And on some of these devices the ones
that don't start with OMX. just crash during initialization while
the others work. To make things even more complicated other devices
have codecs with the same name that work and no alternatives.
So just give a lower rank to these non-OMX codecs and hope that
there's an alternative with a higher rank.
Also stagefright gives codecs starting with OMX. a higher rank too and
considers other codecs that don't start with OMX. as software codecs.
This decoder does not work if width and height field are not set
in the sinkpad caps. Let's make this explicit by adding them to
the template caps.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749655
It is incorrect to modify the frame properties after passing them, since
VTCompressionSessionEncodeFrame takes reference and we have no control
over when it's being used.
In fact, the code can be simplified. We just preallocate the frame
properties for keyframe requests, and pass NULL otherwise.

Unless stopRequest is set, we should unlock conditionally -- otherwise,
the 'create:' method can wake up to an empty buffer queue
and pull a nil buffer.

gst_ks_device_provider_probe() is a no-braier, just runs ks_enumerate_devices()
and reports the results.
Monitoring is a bit more tricky. We have to create a dummy message-processing
window and register device change notifications for it.
As kernel streaming can (and should) be used for audio capture and audio
playback, this change also has certain placeholders for such.

The autodetection mode was broken because a race condition in the input mode
setting. The mode could be reverted back when it was replaced in
the streaming thread by the old mode in the middle of mode changed callback.
We now fill GErrors for everything that could throw an exception, and method
calls now always return a gboolean and their value in an out-parameter to
distinguish failures from other values.
The shm-area-property tells the name of the shm area used by the element. This
is useful for cases where shmsink is not able to clean up (calling
shm_unlink()), e.g. if it is in a sandbox.
