For streams at low bitrates we need to set a limit in time because the limit
in bytes might not reached too late, sometimes more than 30 seconds.
This limit can only be set if upstream is seekable (see #584104)
Closes#647769
These reconfigure based on the caps and plugin in converters if
necessary. This also makes switching between compressed and raw
streams work flawlessly without loosing the states of any element
somewhere or having running time problems.
Before playbin2 would use different selectors for raw audio and
compressed audio (and the same for video) and used different
pads from playsink. This made the involved logic much more
complex and was not implemented completely in playsink, which
made it impossible to support files with a compressed and
uncompressed stream that is support by the sink.
playbin2 handles raw/non-raw streams the same now and the
decision is left to playsink, which now can also handle
caps changes from raw to non-raw and the other way around.
Fixes bug #632788.
Highlights:
- support for 16-bit-per-component video formats
- playbin2 fixes and improvements for custom and non-raw sinks
- oggmux muxes based on running time now
- many other fixes and improvements
Fixes#648548. Orc generates bad code for
gst_videoscale_orc_resample_merge_bilinear_u32, so we'll use the
slightly slower two-stage process. I'd fix Orc, but it's hard to
get excited about fixing a feature that I'm planning to deprecate
and replace.
Exif uses tags like image-vertical-ppi or image-horizontal-ppi which are
registered in gst_tag_register_musicbrainz_tags(), but neither GstExifReader
nor GstExifWriter register them.

libgstfft doesn't actually use any symbols from libgstreamer, so when
compiling with -Wl,--as-needed it won't even link to it, which can
cause failures with older versions of g-i that ignore the --pkg
arguments.
Should fix PPA build failure on Ubuntu Maverick
Ogg mandates the first header packet must determine a stream's type.
However, some streams (such as VP8) do not include such a header
when muxed in other containers, and thus do not include this header
as a buffer, but only in caps. We thus use headers from caps when
available to determine a new stream's type.
