Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
The number of FFTs is calculated with the following formula:
guint nfft = 2 * bands - 2;
nfft is passed to gst_fft_f32_new() as the len argument and is of type
unsigned integer. This method required that len is at leas 1, then
maximum G_MAXINT, as other values would be negative. If we extrapolate
from the formula above it means we need "bands" to be between 2 and
((guint)G_MAXINT + 2) / 2).

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.
It turns out that the change in gtk-doc-1.20 which wraps the |[]| content in
CDATA break xi:inlcude examples. As in a whole jhbuild checkout these where
the only 4, we're fixing them instead.
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
Previously the chain function was working sample frame based. In each cycle it
was checking if it is time to run a fft or if it is time to send a message.
Now we changed the data transform functions to work on a block of data and
calculate the max length until either {end-of-data, do-fft, do-msg}. This allows
us also to avoid the duplicated code for the single and multi-channel case (as
the transformers have the same signature now).
Even though we wrap around the accumulated second, we still need to add the
error in the same cycle. Increase the todo in the same conditional as afterwards
the accumulated error will be below one second.
Before it was possible that we run an extra fft when the time for sending a new
message is due. Only do this if we have not run the fft for the interval at all.
Don't check the format for each sample frame to read. We can make that decission
in _setup already. This is still not ideal as we call the function per frame.
Ideally we determine how many samples we can copy and have a loop in the input
reader. As an alternative we might also consider to use the fft variants for the
various formats and not convert to float for all cases - we would still need to
mix or deinterleave though.
Add a boolean multi-channel property with a default of FALSE. When set to TRUE
the element won't mix all input channels to mono, but instead run a FFT on each
channel. In that case the result message would contain a 2 dimensional array
of channel x data for magnitude and phase.

Use a separate function to read a sample frame into a ringbuffer slot. In the
future we can use format-specific function pointer to avoid the reoccuring
format checks.
We now keep the fft data that is related to one channel in a separate structure
to prepare for multichannel support. We also refactor the code to operate more
often on the channel context.
Use 'input' instead of 'spectrum->input' which was intende already (variable
exists, but not used everywhere). Also use a local version of
'spectrum->input_pos'.
