As this element is single threaded, we only need to stop the objects to
allow changing the format again. Fixes assertion notably on shutdown and
on some other situation where the format may be set twice without
actually activating the element.

There is a chance that pool->buffers[index] sets BUFFER_STATE_QUEUED, but
it has not been queued yet which makes pool->buffers[index] still NULL.
At this time, if pool_streamff release all buffers with BUFFER_STATE_QUEUED
state regardless of whether the buffer is NULL or not, it will cause segfault.
To fix this, also check buffer when streamoff release buffer.

osxaudiodeviceprovider now probes devices more than once to determine
if the device can function as both an input AND and output device.
Previously, if the device provider detected that a device had any output
capabilities, it was treated solely as an Audio/Sink. This causes issues
that have both input and output capabilities (for example, USB interfaces
for professional audio have both input and output channels). Such devices
are now listed as both an Audio/Sink as well as an Audio/Source.

If the video4linux device supports norms but has no norm set, norm is
returned as an uninitialized variable after the ioctl call, leading to
gst_v4l2_tuner_get_norm_by_std_id() returning a random norm from the
supported norms. Catch this case and instead return NULL to indicate
that no norm is setup.

Hotdoc should be able to extract and parse comments out of these. Just
need to be careful to only add the glob in directories that actually
contain *.m (objc) and *.mm (objcpp) files.
Also fix some doc comments and remove redundant ones.

This is listed as a public interface implemented by osxaudio, so we
need to mark it as a plugin API so that it's listed in the
documentation correctly.
This is an ancient symbol, so add it to the symbol index too.

This is due to an unsafe usage of the pad task. We didn't ensure proper
ownership of the task. That race involved the task being released too early,
and was detected, luckily, by the glib mutex implementationt that
reported the mutex being disposed while being locked.

XNextEvent() blocks indefinitely in absence of X11 events, which can
prevent the pipeline from stopping.
This can cause problems when ximagesrc is used in "remote desktop"
scenarios and the GStreamer application itself, through which the user
is viewing and controlling the machine, is the only source of input
events.
Replace the call with non-blocking XCheckTypedEvent().

Also ignore 0x0 sizes in the fallback case and assume the size can be
anything between 1x1 and MAXxMAX.
This fixes the case where a width=0, height=0 caps are created. Whith
this patch the caps will contain width=[1,MAX], height=[1,MAX].

The `gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_dqbuf` function contains this ominous comment:
/* get our GstBuffer with that index from the pool, if the buffer was
* outstanding we have a serious problem.
*/
outbuf = pool->buffers[group->buffer.index];
Unfortunately it is common for buffers in _output_ buffer pools to be
both queued and outstanding at the same time. This can happen if the
upstream element keeps a reference to the buffer, or in an encoder
element itself when it keeps a reference to the input buffer for each
frame.
Since the current code doesn't handle this case properly we can end up
with crashes in other elements such as:
(gst-launch-1.0:32559): CRITICAL **: 17:33:35.740: gst_video_frame_map_id: assertion 'GST_IS_BUFFER (buffer)' failed
and:
(gst-launch-1.0:231): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 00:16:20.882: write map requested on non-writable buffer
Both these crashes are caused by a race condition related to releasing
the same buffer twice from two different threads. If a buffer is queued
and outstanding this situation is possible:
**Thread 1**
- Calls `gst_buffer_unref` decrementing the reference count to zero.
- The core GstBufferPool object marks the buffer non-outstanding.
- Calls the V4L2 release buffer function.
- If the buffer is _not_ queued:
- Release it back to the free pool (containing non-queued buffers).
**Thread 2**
- Dequeues the queued output buffer.
- Marks the buffer as not queued.
- If the buffer is _not_ outstanding:
- Calls the V4L2 release buffer function.
- Release it back to the free pool (containing non-queued buffers).
If both of these threads run at exactly the same time there is a small
window where the buffer is marked both not outstanding and not queued
but before it has been released. In this case the buffer will be freed
twice causing the above crashes.
Unfortunately the variable recording whether a buffer is outstanding is
part of the core `GstBuffer` object and is managed by `GstBufferPool` so
it's not as straightforward as adding a mutex. Instead we can fix this
by additionally recording the buffer state in `GstV4l2BufferPool`, and
handle "internal" and "external" buffer release separately so we can
detect when a buffer becomes not outstanding.
In the new solution:
- The "external" buffer pool release and the "dqbuf" functions
atomically update the buffer state and determine if a buffer is still
queued or outstanding.
- Subsequent code and a new
`gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_complete_release_buffer` function can proceed to
release (or not) a buffer knowing that it's not racing with another
thread.
