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.
In case we receive a flush event before having our caps set, we will
end up trying to create a theora encoder even though we are not ready.
Avoid that situation making sure we are initialized before accepting to
be flushed.

Instead, remember we need a keyframe, and we will force the encoder
to emit one next time we submit a new frame.
Since libtheora does not have an API to request a keyframe, we reset
the max keyframe interval to 1 temporarily.
This has the advantage that the rate control keeps its history,
and that the encoder won't choose different quant tables or
somesuch, thus requiring new streamheaders (although this is
probably only a theoretical possibility). Should also be a
bit faster than resetting the encoder.

No need to copy buffers we put into the streamheader any more
now that we don't put caps on buffers any more, so there's no
danger of a refcount cycle.
FIXME : Don't forget to backport changes that happened to theoraenc
since April 2011
theoraenc: Don't create keyframe on time gap
There is no rational to do so, and also gst_video_encoder_set_discont() is
gone from base class.
This option will produce duplicate frames if we get
a frame with GAP flag. This will reduce CPU load and file size.
This option should be disabled for real time applications, because it
collects GAP frames and waits until it gets a non GAP frame to start
encoding.
v30.06.2011: make some spell changes.
v03.07.2011: add handling of EOS and discontinuous for dup-on-gap.
v19.12.2011: fix pointer dangling in theora_timefifo_free
v20.12.2010: fix timestamp bug for dup-on-gap=0

If both quality and bitrate are set, libtheora will try to meet
both constraints, causing it to prefer emitting a smaller number
of good frames, to emitting the full number of frames that would
not meet the requested quality. This causes a slideshow effect
when the bitrate is low and the quality is high. And the default
theoraenc is high (48/63).
So only set quality when it is requested, and leave it unset
otherwise.
