The problem with both macros is, that they suggest something that isn't true.
If GST_FLOW_IS_FATAL is true, there could still be a problem for many elements
and they should stop what they're currently doing and return that value
upstream (e.g. not-linked in a parser). If GST_FLOW_IS_SUCCESS is false, it
could still be that this is "ok" for the element (e.g. not-linked for a demuxer
on a few of its pads but not all).
It's better to not have these "convenience" macros but instead let people
*think* about the handling of different flow returns, that makes sense for
their element. And we should document the expected handling of flow returns for
different classes of elements in the plugin writer's guide.
Fixes bug #628014.
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.
Fixes bug #622685.
A pad is 'negotiable' when its container element is in a state greater
than GST_STATE_READY

This way people can just #define their own custom flow returns to
one of these without having the compiler (esp. gcc-4.5) complain
about comparing integers to an enum or the enum not being listed

In most places in core and baseclasses we just need the caps to do caps-
intersections. In that case ref'ed caps are enough (no need to copy).
This patch also switches the code to use the new functions.
API: gst_pad_get_caps_refed(), gst_pad_peer_get_caps_refed()
The internal links function is deprecated since some time and
there already were GST_REMOVE_DEPRECATED markers in the source file,
now add them to the header too.
Fixes bug #592209.
Reuse buffer code for bufferlists. Not sure if this measurably impacts performance
for the simple buffer case, if it does after doing some benchmarks, we can
decouple it later.
Fixes#572285
Move the gst_pad_can_link() implementation from gstutils to gstpad and use
gst_pad_link_prepare() to make it work correctly and also check the caps.
Make the broken implementation in gstutils static.
Small cleanups in the _get_fixed_caps() function.
Fixes#575682.
Keep track of when a new callback is installed in the callback and call the new
callback in that case.
Add unit test for checking pad blocking.
Fixes#573823.

* gst/gstpad.h: (GST_PAD_LINK_SUCCESSFUL):
* gst/gstpluginfeature.h: (GstPluginFeatureClass):
Some minor docs fixes: fix typo, mention that GST_FLOW_RESEND is
unused and unimplemented; finally, it is plugin features, not
plugins, that have ranks.

Add function to perform a query on the peer of a pad.

Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstpad.h:
Small addition to GST_FLOW_IS_FATAL() docs: mention that elements
driving the pipeline may need to explicitly check for NOT_LINKED as
well, since IS_FATAL doesn't cover that.

pull-mode negotiation might work?

* gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_get_allowed_caps): Remove the restriction
that the pad must be a src pad; makes sense to call it the other
way in pull mode, and the logic is symmetric anyway.
