We should do some more measurements with all these and check how much sense
they make for PTP. Also enabling them means not following IEEE1588-2008 by the
letter anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749391
GstPtpClock implements a PTP (IEEE1588:2008) ordinary clock in
slave-only mode, that allows a GStreamer pipeline to synchronize
to a PTP network clock in some specific domain.
The PTP subsystem can be initialized with gst_ptp_init(), which then
starts a helper process to do the actual communication via the PTP
ports. This is required as PTP listens on ports < 1024 and thus
requires special privileges. Once this helper process is started, the
main process will synchronize to all PTP domains that are detected on
the selected interfaces.
gst_ptp_clock_new() then allows to create a GstClock that provides the
PTP time from a master clock inside a specific PTP domain. This clock
will only return valid timestamps once the timestamps in the PTP domain
are known. To check this, the GstPtpClock::internal-clock property and
the related notify::clock signal can be used. Once the internal clock
is not NULL, the PTP domain's time is known. Alternatively you can wait
for this with gst_ptp_clock_wait_ready().
To gather statistics about the PTP clock synchronization,
gst_ptp_statistics_callback_add() can be used. This gives the
application the possibility to collect all kinds of statistics
from the clock synchronization.

Just create the cancellable fd once and keep it around instead
of creating/closing it for every single packet. Since we spend
most time waiting for packets, an fd is alloced and in use pretty
much all the time anyway.
GstNetAddress can be used to store ancillary data which was received with
or is to be sent alongside the buffer data. When used with socket sinks
and sources which understand this meta it allows sending and receiving
ancillary data such as unix credentials (See `GUnixCredentialsMessage`)
and Unix file descriptions (See `GUnixFDMessage`).
This will be useful for implementing protocols which use file-descriptor
passing in payloaders/depayloaders without having to re-implement all the
socket handling code already present in elements such as multisocketsink,
etc. This, in turn, will be useful for implementing zero-copy video IPC.
This meta uses the platform independent `GSocketControlMessage` API
provided by GLib as a part of GIO. As a result this new meta does not
require any new dependencies or any conditional compliation for
portablility, although it is unlikely to do anything useful on non-UNIX
platforms.
Add a hold off when the clock calibration suddenly loses synch,
as it may be a glitch, but also make sure we update if it stays
desynched for more than a few seconds
Add the minimum-update-interval property to the clock, with a default
of 50ms and don't send polling requests faster than that. That helps to
ensure we spread the initial observations out a little - startup takes
a little longer, but tracking is more stable.
Move the discont skew limiting code inside an if statement, so that
it's only done when the linear regression succeeds and the clock
parameters might actually change.
Allow setting a GstBus on the network clock client
via a new 'bus' object property. If a bus is set, the
clock will output an element message containing statistics
about new clock observations and the clock correlation.
When the local clock is synchronised with the remote, limit the
maximum jump in the clock at any point to be one average RTT to
the server. Also, publish in the bus message whether we are
synched with the remote or not.

* Expand GST_MESSAGE_DEVICE to the full enum value names
* Correct the incorrect references to the GstDeviceProvider interfaces
* Describe caps arguments for gstcheck interface
* Add missing docs for GstNetAddressMeta and its add function
* Add docs for toc helper macros
* Avoid refering to GstValueList type as done elsewhere

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.
Fix a typo in a doc string - the property is round-trip-limit, not
roundtrip-limit.
Remove a bogus GST_WARNING that can print an uninitialised variable
and is redundant anyway.
Sometimes, packets might take a very long time to return. Such packets
usually are way too late and destabilize the regression with their
obsolete data. On Wi-Fi, round-trips of over 7 seconds have been observed.
If the limit is set to a nonzero value, packets with a round-trip period
larger than the limit are ignored.

Keep a rolling average of the round trip time for network clock
observations, favouring shorter round trips as being more accurate.
Don't pass any clock observation to the clock slaving if it has a
round-trip time greater than 2 times the average.
Actual shifts in the network topology will be noticed after some
time, as the rolling average incorporates the new round trip times.
Even though this parameter is not used, it should be const to fit in with the
coding standards for other similar parameters. Client code already passes in
const strings under the expectation that they won’t be modified.

The _1_0 suffixed environment variables override the
non-suffixed ones, so if we're in an environment that
sets the _1_0 suffixed ones, such as jhbuild, we need
to set those to make sure ours actually always get
used.
Using multiple libraries causes problems for the C# bindings and
will for similiar languages such as Java when there are bindings
for them.
Also change --library=libgstfoo-X.la to --library=gstfoo-X as
the man page suggests it should be done.

No need to use a custom main context and custom timeout sources,
just use g_socket_condition_timed_wait() instead, which was added
for exactly this case.
Also seems to help with the unit test deadlocking with glib 2.33.x

Remove GST_MAJORMINOR and replace it by GST_API_VERSION
Also set GST_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO,NANO} explicitely
now.
All versions are at 1.0.0 now for the release soon but
API/ABI can still change until the 1.0.0 release.
Next release versions until 1.0.0 will be 0.10.9X and
these will be release candidates. GST_VERSION_* will
nonetheless stay at 1.0.0.0.
Split out the registration of the metadata API and its implementation. Make a
GType for each metadata API. This allows us to store extra information with the
API type such as the tags.
Change the buffer API so that we can get the metadata using the API GType.
Change the query API so that we use the metadata API GType in the allocation
query instead of a string.
Update netaddress and unit tests
Add support for adding tags to the metadata. with some standard keys, this
should make it possible to describe what the metadata refers to. We should be
able to use this information to decide if a transformation destroys the metadata
or not.
Flesh out the transform method. Add a type and extra info to the transform
function so that implementation can transform the metadata.
Remove the copy function and replace with the more generic transform.
Remove the android/ top dir
Fixe the Makefile.am to be androgenized
To build gstreamer for android we are now using androgenizer which generates the needed Android.mk files.
Androgenizer can be found here: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/derek/androgenizer.git
Apply fix from libgstbase to all core libs now that we know that it
works. Should fix problems with g-ir-scanner using the wrong
(ie. system) libgstreamer, leading to linking errors such as
undefined reference to `gst_clock_single_shot_id_reinit'.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637549
Previously it was - probably due to copy/paste error - looking for
gstbase headers.
It's changed now to only include the one public header for gstnet.h
Sets up a GST_PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable for use in Makefile.am
(avoids trailing ':' in PKG_CONFIG_PATH used). A useful side
effect of this is also that the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
is now logged in the configure output.
Point g-ir-scanner to the .la file of our library, which hopefully
makes it find the right dependencies in all cases (ie. our locally
built libgstreamer and not the system-installed one). This is also
how it's done in Gtk+ and how it's documented in the wiki, see
http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/AutotoolsIntegration
Based on patches by Vincent Untz and Alan Knowles.
Fixes#603710.
Our own pkgconfig directory should come first, so that pkg-config uses
the in-tree libgstreamer and not some external one when --pkg=gstreamer-0.10
is passed to g-ir-scanner.
See #603710.
