There's no code that uses it other than multiqueue, so make it private
to multiqueue for now. That way we can also do optimisations that
require API/ABI breaks. If anyone ever wants to use it, we can still
make it public again.
_set_caps only gets called when the buffer is actually pushed, so there
is a reasonably big window between when the initial caps are retrieved
and when the caps are set on our src pad. So we can't assume the not
having negotiated caps on our src pad means _get_caps still has to be
called.
Instead simply always suggest the new caps on buffer_alloc.
Add a vmethod to handle the pad query.
Install a default handler for the pad query.
Add a vmethod to setup the allocation properties.
Use the new query function in filesink
Implement the sink event handling like the src event handler. Make the default
implementation parse and forward the event. This makes it possible to actually
return an error value from the event handler.
Remove the requirement to have to return a ref to the input buffer when in
passthrough mode. This saves a few ref/unref cycles and fixes another 0.11
FIXME.
Remove the caps and size from the prepare_output_buffer function. with
bufferpools and capsnego done differently, we don't need this in most cases and
if we do, we can simply use the transform_size function and get the caps from
the srcpad.
Add an index to gst_buffer_take_memory() so that we can also insert memory at a
certain offset. This is mostly interesting to prepend a header memory block to
the buffer.
Make a new method to allocate a buffer + memory that takes the allocator and the
alignment as parameters. Provide a macro for the old method but prefer to use
the new method to encourage plugins to negotiate the allocator properly.
Add a new fill virtual method to basesrc. The purpose of this method is to fill
a provided buffer with data.
Add a default implementation of the create method that allocates a buffer and
calls the fill method on it. This would allow the base class to implement
bufferpool and allocator negotiation on behalf of the subclasses.
Fix the blocksize property.
Make filesrc use the new fill method.
Always forward all events in the default handler. Previously it used to not
forward caps events by default. It makes more sense to forward the caps events,
if the element is interested in the caps, it will implement an event handler to
retrieve the caps and then it can decide to forward or not. If the element has
no event handler, it probably just doesn't care about caps and it probably is
also not going to modify the data in a way that needs a caps change.
See #651514 for details. It's apparently impossible to write code
that avoids both type punning warnings with old g_atomic headers and
assertions in the new. Thus, macros and a version check.
When releasing the request pad, first remove it from the element and then
deactivate it. If we do it the other way around, a gst_pad_push on the element
might return wrong-state before we had a chance to detect the removed pad in the
chain function.
This makes sure that SEEK events are sent to all upstream elements, which is
required if different streams are completely distinct pipeline parts. Also this
allows QoS to be done on deselected streams, flushes to be handled correctly,
etc.
The switch action signal with the stop and start running times
is not necessary anymore. Closing of segments is not necessary
and adjusting the start running time of a segment can later be
done with new GstPad API.
