Nirbheek Chauhan	3f7e29d5b3	Add new 'proxy' element to stream data between pipelines ... This keep-it-simple plugin is useful when you want to pipe arbitrary data to a different pipeline within the same process. Some advantages over appsink/appsrc, the inter elements, etc: * Ease of use. Buffers, events, and caps are transmitted as-is without copying or serialization. * Enables zerocopy (especially DMABUF) transparently without any special-casing. * Enables usage with sinks or elements that are unreliable and may throw errors and need re-initialization, such as a network sink, a USB device sink (v4l2), etc. * Transmits arbitrary data, not just audio/video/subs * Can easily implement 1 producer pipeline -> N dynamic consumer pipelines within a single process when combined with the `tee` element. All queries, events, buffers, and buffer lists are proxied. State changes, clocks, and base times for the two pipelines are independent since the upstream and downstreams continue to be different pipelines. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788200	2018-02-07 22:49:36 +05:30
