Pipeline serialisation to and from XML is horribly broken for all
but the most simple use cases, and will likely never be fixed.
Make sure everyone playing around with these tools is aware of
this, to avoid frustration. See countless bug reports in bugzilla.
Use foo_LDADD instead of foo_LDFLAGS to specify the libraries to link to.
This should make sure arguments are passed to the linker in the right
order. See #615697.
This changes some APIs in compatible ways:
- Some functions now take "const char *" arguments, not "char *"
- Some structs now have "conts char *" members, not "char *"
The changes may cause warnings when compiling with the right warning
flags. You've been warned.
Also adds -Wwrite-strings as a warning flag in configure.ac.

g_setprgname is implicitly called by g_option_context_new() with a check
to see if it's been set already, so set it before g_option_context_new()
Move version printing back until after the options have been parsed,
otherwise it won't work, since it evaluates a flag set by the
option parser.
If no plugin is given, print the info for all plugins. This can be used as a
starting point to generate a profile about what the gstreamer installation can
potentialy handle (e.g. for MTP or DLNA).
Check if we've been interrupted only four times per second instead
of twenty times per second, to wake up the cpu less often and
save power (see bug #600922).
Revisit these strings now that the change regarding the message source
object in gst_element_found_tags_for_pad() got reverted. Try to refer
explicitly to what kind of element it is (element, pad, etc.) in some
cases, which is nicer than having to deduce this info (and we can
re-use the already existing translated strings for the most common
case). It also makes for better example code, since it's clear now
that the message source object doesn't have to be an element.
When it is shutting down a pipeline after ctrl-c, set pipeline to
paused before waiting for the main loop to complete all pending
transactions. Fixes#584657.
If some part of the pipeline is generating signals or idle functions
at a fast rate, waiting for a main loop iteration may never return.
Disable the handling of the CLOCK_LOST messages until we fixed and released the
elements (rtspsrc) that break when we quickly PAUSE/PLAY the pipeline.
Fixes#579127
We should use GLib's g_print*() functions for printing stuff in gst-launch, not printf and friends, since we're printing
translated strings, which we get in UTF-8 encoding, and GLib's print functions expect UTF-8 encoded strings whereas printf
et al. expect strings in the locale encoding, which may or may not be UTF-8.
Also add a PRINT convenience macro so we don't have to litter the code with if (!quiet) statements.
Add a GST_MESSAGE_REQUEST_STATE that can be posted by element when they would
like to have the application change the state of the pipeline. the primary use
case is to pause the pipeline when an audio mixer is mixing a higher priority
stream but it can also be used for other purposes.
Add some docs and a unit test.
Implement the REQUEST_STATE message in gst-launch.

* tools/gst-inspect.c (print_all_uri_handlers): New function,

Remove GST_DISABLE_(ENUMTYPES|INDEX|URI) everywhere.
Disabling the indexers and URI handler code will only reduce the
required amount of memory by a very small amount but on the other hand
requires much more maintaince work. Apart from that many places of
code are broken when disabling them.
Disabling the enum types doesn't reduce the required amount of memory
by more than a few bytes and makes it hard to fix bugs like #539772,
i.e. use the enums as GObject properties.

Original commit message from CVS:
* tools/gst-xmlinspect.c: (print_element_info), (main):
De-cruft a bit. If no argument is specified, print all elements in
XML syntax rather than a freestyle list of elements like gst-inspect.
Also, don't print XML header chunk unless we actually have something
to print (ie. don't print it before an error message); print error
message to stderr not stdout. Remove support for printing plugin
info (it would just output something freestyle along the lines of
gst-inspect so far), which fixes#514507. Also add license header.

API: Add GST_IS_PARAM_SPEC_MINI_OBJECT, GST_PARAM_SPEC_MINI_OBJECT
GST_TYPE_PARAM_MINI_OBJECT and gst_value_dup_mini_object. Also move
GstParamSpecMiniObject into a public header for this.
This make GstMiniObject a bit more consistent with GObject and makes
it possible to extend the param specs.
gst_value_dup_mini_object is mainly useful for set_property methods.
Fixes bug #523798.
* tools/gst-inspect.c: (print_element_properties_info):
Print something useful for GstMiniObject properties and not just
"unknown type".

Don't create a customised man page based on the host architecture,
describe the default registry path generically. That way the man

multilib issue less to deal with. Fixes#434926.
Original commit message from CVS:
* tools/gst-inspect.c:
(print_plugin_automatic_install_info_codecs):
Now that we don't check for the 'Codec' keyword any longer in the
klass, we shouldn't spew a warning if the klass isn't a decoder or
encoder (since it might be a Source/Network, for example).
Original commit message from CVS:
* tools/gst-inspect.c:
(print_plugin_automatic_install_info_codecs):
Don't require decoder/demuxer/depayloader elements or
encoder/muxer/paylader elements to have 'Codec' as part of their
factory class string when introspecting a plugin's capabilities.
draft-klass.txt mentions that it might be removed in future, and
flump3dec doesn't have it as part of its class string, so chances
are others might also not have it.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstpipeline.c: (gst_pipeline_change_state),
(gst_pipeline_provide_clock_func), (gst_pipeline_set_delay):
Don't ref a NULL clock in _provide_clock_func().
Don't allow an INVALID delay.
Don't try to calculate base_time with an invalid start_time.
Also distribute and notify a NULL clock when it was selected.
* tools/gst-launch.c: (event_loop):
Don't crash when a NULL clock was selected in the pipeline.
