Let's assume a source that outputs outputs 20ms buffers, and audiomixer having
a 20ms output buffer duration. However timestamps don't align perfectly, the
source buffers are offsetted by 5ms.
For our ASCII art picture, each letter is 5ms, each pipe is the start of a
20ms buffer. So what happens is the following:
0 20 40 60
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
| | | |
5 25 45 65
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
| | | |
This means that the second output buffer (20 to 40ms) only gets its last 5ms
at time 45ms (the timestamp of the next buffer is the time when the buffer
arrives). But if we only have a latency of 20ms, we would wait until 40ms
to generate the output buffer and miss the last 5ms of the input buffer.
There's no reason why audiomixer should override the segment
base of upstream with whatever value it got from a SEEK event,
or even worse... with 0 if there was no SEEK event yet. This
broke synchronization if upstream provided a segment base other
than 0, e.g. when using pad offsets.
Also that this code did things conditional on the element's state
should've been a big warning already that something is just wrong.
If this breaks anything else now, let's fix it properly :)
Also don't do fancy segment position trickery when receiving a
segment event. It's just not correct.
Instead of using the GST_OBJECT_LOCK we should have
a dedicated mutex for the pad as it is also associated
with the mutex on the EVENT_MUTEX on which we wait
in the _chain function of the pad.
The GstAggregatorPad.segment is still protected with the
GST_OBJECT_LOCK.
Remove the gst_aggregator_pad_peak_unlocked method as it does not make
sense anymore with a private lock.

Reduce the number of locks simplify code, what is protects
is exposed, but the lock was not.
Also means adding an _unlocked version of gst_aggregator_pad_steal_buffer().

This can happen if this is a live pipeline and no source produced any buffer
and sent no caps until the an output buffer should've been produced according
to the latency.
When this is TRUE, we really have to produce output. This happens
in live mixing mode when we have to output something for the current
time, no matter if we have enough input or not.
Audiomixer blocksize, cant be 0, hence adjusting the minimum value to 1
timeout value of aggregator is defined with MAX of MAXINT64,
but it cannot cross G_MAXLONG * GST_SECOND - 1
Hence changed the max value of the same
