The start and stop should represent the currently downloading region.
The estimated-total should represent the remaining time to download
the currently downloading region. This makes it a lot more useful
for applications because they can then use those values to update
the fill region and use the estimated time to delay playback.
Update the docs with this clarification.
When the first segment has position != 0 and position > max-size-time
it will immediatelly cause the multiqueue to signal overrun.
This can happen easily with adaptive streams when switching bitrates
and starting a new group. The segment for this new group will have
a position that is much greater than 0 and will lead to this issue.
This is particularly harmful when the adaptive stream uses mpegts
that doesn't emit no-more-pads and it might happen that only one
of the stream pads was added when the multiqueue overruns and gets
the group ready for exposing. So the user will only get audio or
video.
The solution is to fallback to the sink segment while the source pad
has no segment.

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
The qlock is released between popping a buffer from the queue
and pushing it. When this buffer causes the sink to wait in
preroll, this lets a query see that the queue is empty, and
push the query then wait for it to be serviced. However, this
will not be done till after peroll, and this will thus block.
If upstream was waiting on buffering to reach 100% before
switching to PLAYING, a deadlock would ensue.
This had been fixed recently by failing queries when the
queue2 was buffering, but this happens to break some other
case (playbin on a local http server and matroska), while
this patch works for both.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728345
This should never happen theoretically, but since a transient
failure would get us to silently read wrong data, it's worth
erroring out. And it silence this:

We fix it by refusing the query when buffering, as per Wim's
recommendation on IRC.
Use the pad as object for logging to get more context. Use
gst_pad_store_sticky_event() instead of sending the event. This avoids a warning
as here the pad is not yet linked and we actually don't want to send anyway.
Use the last result as a default when pushing a item from a single queue,
otherwise the status gets reset to _OK when pushing events.
This causes problems when mistakenly activating a not-linked stream
that is being ignored upstream as it is not being used (adaptive
scenarios), it will make the multiqueue post a buffering message
on a pad that won't receive buffers

Make a method to get the seeking threshold. If data is further away from
this threshold we want to perform a seek upstream.
When the current downloaded range can merge with the next range,
actually include the data of the next range into the current range
instead of discarding it. Also decide if we seek to the write position
of the merged range or continue reading.
If the segment event is allowed to be pushed to all pads it
will lead to an assertion of 'sticky event misordering:
segment received before caps' in case the pad-negotiation-mode
is set to 'active' or 'none'.
This patch fixes this by making all sticky events follow the
property like the caps event to prevent misordering warnings.
When a new pad is activated the current sticky events on the
sinkpad are forwarded to it in the proper order.

When the single queue size was just bumped by 1 to allow more buffers to
be added, the buffers limit could be reduced to the current level when
setting the max-size-buffers property. This would result in a stall
since the queue would not grow anymore at this point.
Prevent this by not reducing a single queue size below the current
number of buffers + 1.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712597
In the case where one singlequeue is full and all other are not linked, the
growing of the full queue does not work correctly. The result depends on if
the full queue is last in the queue list or not.

It is already stored inside the GstSegment struct and
was only duplicating information. Also removed some
weird positon if/else that would possibly change the
segment that was going to be pushed downstream
When prerolling/buffering, multiqueue has its buffers limit set
to 0, this means it can take an infinite amount of buffers.
When prerolling/buffering finishes, its limit is set back to 5, but
only if the current level is lower than 5. It should (almost) never be
and this will cause prerolling/buffering to need to wait to reach the
hard bytes and time limits, which are much higher.
This can lead to a very long startup time. This patch fixes this
by setting the single queues to the max(current, new_value) instead
of simply ignoring the new value and letting it as infinite(0)
