The rationale is that it can't be properly used right now when using
it to encode mpeg2video because of the needs-to-be-rewritten properties
and format negotiation. Other encoders will negotiate in a much saner
fashion.
One such example is that when you pick mpeg2enc for mpeg2video, the
default value for the 'format' property is "Generic MPEG-1", which is
completely wrong if downstream caps are mpeg2. The whole negotiation
code needs some serious loving before this plugin can be bumped back
up to a higher rank.
gst_caps_make_writable() takes ownership of the caps passed in, but
the caller doesn't own a ref to the caps here, because GST_PAD_CAPS
doesn't return a ref. Looks like the code relied on a caps leak
elsewhere for this to work properly.
If downstream doesn't handle the newsegment event, don't error out (esp.
not without posting a proper error message on the bus), but just continue.
If there's a problem, we'll find out when we start pushing buffers.

When recording 2 videos in sequence with the same video-capture-caps,
the second video would get a not-negotiated error because the
src caps were being cleared without any intention of
renegotiating it back to the requested capture caps.
This patch avoids this caps reset procedure unless a new
caps was set.
Don't leak string copy returned by gst_element_get_name(). Also, check
for certain elements by checking the plugin feature / factory name, not
the assigned object name.
... and not only when sort-of feeling like it.
In any case, if it turns out all really is in order,
and presumably DTS == PTS, then no ctts will be produced anyway.
We can't rely on audio sources pushing EOS when going PAUSED->READY
because this is a basesrc bahavior and when used inside autoaudiosrc
the ghostpad goes flushing before the real source pushes the EOS,
so it is dropped.
Audio elements are put into bin only when needed, so we need
to be careful with their states as camerabin2 won't manage
them if they are outside the bin.
Also we should reset their pad's flushing status before
starting a new capture.
Adds an audio source and audio capsfilter/queue/convert, creating
a new branch on camerabin2 that is used to feed encodebin with
audio buffers for video recording.
Adds properties to check what caps are supported on the
viewfinder (from the camerasrc viewfinder pad) and another
one to set a caps for the viewfinder.
Adds a virtual function to basecamerasrc in case subclasses want to be
notified of changing preview caps. This is useful if the subclass wants
to post the preview itself or if it wants to provide a preview buffer
as close to as possible to the user's requested resolution to the
preview generation pipeline.
