With most decoder libraries, and especially when accessing codecs via
OpenMAX or similar APIs, we don't have the ability to properly related
the output buffers to a number of input samples. And could e.g. get
a fractional number of input buffers decoded at a time.
Previously this would in the end lead to an error message and stopped
playback. Change it to a warning message instead and try to handle it
gracefully. In theory the subclass can now get timestamp tracking
wrong if it completely misuses the API, but if on average it behaves
correct (and gst-omx and others do) it will continue to work properly.
Also add a test for the new behaviour.
We don't change it in the encoder yet as that requires more internal logic
changes AFAIU and I'm not aware of a case where this was a problem so far.
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.
We were returning in various places without unreffing the caps, and
we were also leaking (overwriting) the caps we got from _get_current_caps()
Spotted by Haakon Sporsheim in #gstreamer
Clock slaving can clip start time to zero, giving us a shorted
duration than we originally got. To keep in sync, we must then
discard the samples falling before that zero timestamp.
This possibly fixes random distortion caused by constant PA
underflows which are never resynced.
Fixes problem in audioconvert, which would end up using
a mixmatrix when converting between different mono format
because it thinks MONO positioning is different from
unpositioned channels, which is not the case in this
special case. The mixmatrix would end up being 0.0 so
audioconvert would convert to silence samples.

We call the _get_time function from the provided clock and we don't lock
the sink object for performance reasons. Make sure we only read and
check variables once so that they don't change while we are executing
the code.

For default caps generation when handling gap events that are sent
before any buffer, try to use caps that are closer to what upstream
provided to avoid fixating rate or channels to 1 as default.
So there are the steps:
1) Try to set rate, channels and channel-mask from upstream if provided
2) Fixate the rate and channels to the default rate and channels from
audio lib
3) Fixate the caps just to be sure everything is fixed
4) If no channel-mask was provided and channels > 2, use a default
channel-mask (taken from audioconvert code)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722144
Before trying to generate a default fixated caps when handling a gap
event, make sure that the same strategy that is used when handling
a buffer has been attempted. Otherwise audiodecoder will ignore
upstream caps settings such as rate and channels and will likely
end with a caps with channels=1 and rate=1.

Port a change from audiobasesink from def07410, to ignore setcaps
when the caps don't actually change, and avoid a reconfiguration
and reset of the ringbuffer in that case.
And don't assume in other code that set_format() preserves any fields at
all. These assumptions were already made here for fields that were changed
by set_format().
If there are no caps from the audio decoder when handling a GAP
event - as when one is received right at the start on a DVD without
initial audio - then choose any default caps for downstream and
then send the GAP, so the audio sink has a configured format in
which to start the ringbuffer.
Also, make the audio sink reject a GAP without caps with a clearer
error message.

Fixes "Unitialized Scalar Variable" issues reported by Coverity.
Has the added advantage of detecting whether somebody *does* use those
fields (ending up with a invalid address).

So that it avoids to send an allocation query twice.
One from an early call to gst_audio_encoder_negotiate from a
subclass, then one from gst_audio_encoder_allocate_output_buffer.
Which means that previously gst_audio_encoder_negotiate was not
clearing the GST_PAD_FLAG_NEED_RECONFIGURE even on success.

Raise an error in case no frames are decoded before EOS and we
have input, meaning that data was received but it was somehow invalid.
