Pass the fixed caps we're asked to accept as a filter for the caps
query, so we don't get a fully-expanded set of caps back (which we don't
need and can take a lot of time for intersection).
This reduces the time for camerabin to produce a second frame on a
logitech C910 camera from around 52 seconds to a bit less then 16
seconds on my system.

gst_pad_get_current_caps() on the source pad might yield NULL caps
if we're being shut down and the source pad has already been
deactivated by the other thread that's changing state. Just bail
out in that case, instead of passing NULL caps to the transform_size
function, which it might not expect.
Fixes spurious warnings in audioresample shutdown unit test.

Basetransform attempts to do passthrough mode regardless of the order of
the transform_caps method. Add a method to disable this.
This is needed for elements like capsfilter that want to transform caps
based on the order of the caps property.
Sometimes a transform filter would need the buffer pool or the memory
allocator negotiated by the base class, for example, for querying different
parameters, such as a bigger number of buffers to allocate by the buffer pool.
This patch expose a two getters accessors: one for the buffer pool and the
other for the memory allocator.
Make gst_query_add_allocation_meta() take a copy of the passed caps instead of
taking ownership. This makes it easier for the caller in most cases because it
doesn't have to make a copy and deal with NULL values.
Make GstAllocator a GstObject instead of a GstMiniObject, like bufferpool.
Make a new gstallocator.c file. Make a GstAllocator subclass for the default
allocator.
Make it possible to add API specific flags to the ALLOCATION query. This makes
it possible to also check what kinds of subfeatures of the metadata API are
supported.
Use the pad methods to set and check the reconfigure flags
Clear the reconfigure flag before we negotiate so that we don't miss any
reconfigure events while negotiating
This allows subclasses to override it, as is necessary for e.g. the
video-crop meta. It is now necessary that after decide_allocation()
there is always a allocator and a configured buffer pool inside the
query.
Add an option to control if transform_ip is called in passthrough mode or not.
for elements that don't want to look at the data in passthrough mode, this can
avoid some extra processing, mostly in subclasses.
... which controls how to (forcibly) deal with (non-)writable data and
is not necessarily related to identical caps.
In particular, it is also not so helpful anymore with a more advanced
GstVideoFilter subclass which always has a transform_ip method currently,
even though its subclass may not have a corresponding _ip method.
Make it so that one can specify a buffer for get/pull_range where the downstream
element should write into. When passing NULL, upstream should allocate a buffer,
like in 0.10.
We also need to change the probes a little because before the pull probe, there
could already be a buffer passed. This then allows us to use the same PROBE
macro for before and after pulling.
While we're at the probes, make the query probe more powerful by handling the
GST_PAD_PROBE_DROP return value. Returning _DROP from a query probe will now
return TRUE upstream and will not forward the probe to the peer or handler.
Also handle _DROP for get/pull_range properly by not dispatching to the
peer/handler or by generating EOS when the probe returns DROP and no buffer.
Make filesrc handle the non-NULL buffer passed in the get_range function and
skip the allocation in that case, writing directly into the downstream provided
buffer.
Update tests because now we need to make sure to not pass a random value in the
buffer pointer to get/pull_range
Separate the bufferpool and allocator hints in the allocation query, some
of the values don't always make sense together.
Keep the bufferpool and its configuration together.
Keep the allocator and its parameters together.
Allow for multiple bufferpool configurations in the query.
Group the extra allocation parameters in a GstAllocationParams structure to make
it easier to deal with them and so that we can extend them later if needed.
Make gst_buffer_new_allocate() take the GstAllocationParams for added
functionality.
Add boxed type for GstAllocationParams.
Change gst_allocator_alloc() so that we can also spicify flags and padding.
Add 2 new flags to mark the memory 0 prefixed/padded. This allows us to
remove some resizes in the base classes.
When allocating memory, memset prefix and padding with 0 when the flags tell
us to.
On resize, clear the zero padding flags if we can't guarantee the memory is
still 0 filled.
Update tests.
Negotiating padding is needed on second thought so include it in the
ALLOCATION query.
Make the bufferpool take padding into account when allocating.
Make basesrc take padding into account.
Use padding and prefix when allocating in basetransform.
Rework some caps operations so they don't rely on writable caps but instead take
ownership of the input caps and do _make_writable() only when needed.
Remove some const from caps functions, it does not make much sense for
refcounted objects and does not allow us to return a refcount to the const input
caps.
Rework the base classes fixate vmethods to not operate on the caps in-place.
All this saves us around 30% of caps and structure copy and new operations.
Answer the allocation query with FALSE when we are not negotiated yet because at
that point we have no idea if we need to proxy the allocation query or not.
Add a vmethod to filter metadata that should be passed upstream. By default,
don't pass anything.
Add a vmethod to transform metadata from the input buffer to the output buffer.
By default, nothing is transformed or copied.
Remove metadata that describes the particular memory of the buffer it is
attached to. We need to do this because in non-passthrough mode we will allocate
new memory for our output buffer.
Improve the propose allocation vmethod by passing the downstream allocation
query to it. This way the vmethod implementation can use properties of the
downstream allocation to generate the upstream query result. If there is no
downstream quety, it means that the element is working in passthrough mode.
Implement a default decide_allocation.
Rename gst_base_transform_suggest to gst_base_transform_reconfigure_sink because
that is what it does. Also remove the caps and size because that is not needed.
Rename gst_base_transform_reconfigure to gst_base_transform_reconfigure_src.
Remove some old unused code in capsfilter.
Always call the propose_allocation method and provide a default implementation
that passes the query on in passthrough mode so that subclasses can also call
this. Also pass if the transform is in passthrough mode so that the
implementation can adjust its algorithm.
Make it possible to also implement non-inplace fixate functions. Let the fixate
function make the caps writable when needed because some fixate functions might
not need to modify the caps.
