When thread_type is set to FF_THREAD_FRAME, per the documentation
a latency of one frame per thread is introduced:
<https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html>, search for thread_type.
Additionally, we need in that case to calculate the automatic
number of threads ourselves, so as to accurately calculate the
latency.
The thread-type property allows specifying preferred
multithreading methods by user. Note that FF_THREAD_FRAME
may introduce additional latency especially on non-filesrc usecase,
since it introduces a decoding delay of (number of threads) frames.

The version of libavutil is printed in the log instead of libavcodec
because avutil_version() returns LIBAVUTIL_VERSION_INT. This can be confusing,
so we should be replace it with avcodec_version().

The switch to the new ffmpeg property system changed the type of the
bitrate property from int to int64, which potentially breaks many
existing applications at runtime as properties are usually set via
g_object_set().
As such, override the type to int until GStreamer 2.0.
.. and other formats where ffmpeg gives us multiple
subframes per input frame.
Since we now support non-interleaved audio, we can't
just concat buffers any more. Also, audio metas won't
be combined when buffers are merged, so when we push
out the combined buffer we'll look at the meta describing
only the first subframe and think it covers the whole
frame leading to stutter/gaps in the output.
We could fix this by copying the output data into a new
buffer when we merge buffers, but that's suboptimal, so
let's add some API to GstAudioDecoder to push out subframes
and use that instead.

The start time is supposed to be the ts of the first frame.
FFmpeg uses fractions to represent timestamps and the start time may use a
different base than the frame pts. So we may end up having the start
time bigger than the pts because of rounding when converting to gst ts.
See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-libav/issues/51
for details.
When building with MSVC, if the 3rd operator is a double, the entire
expression always promoted double, and is then cast to int64.
When TRUE, this evaluates to (gint64) (gdouble) (INT64_MAX)
which overflows to INT64_MIN on MSVC, but not on C99 compilers.
This causes us to fail the g_return_if_fail inside g_param_spec_int64
when built with MSVC.
This matches all other plugins in the other gstreamer repos. This is
also necessary for generating the correct libtool archive (.la) files
in Cerbero which are needed for static linking on Android and iOS.
In the function gst_ffmpeg_formatid_get_codecids() in the if / else if
construct the special case !strcmp (format_name, "pva") should be
handled before the generic case (plugin->audio_codec !=
AV_CODEC_ID_NONE) || (plugin->video_codec != AV_CODEC_ID_NONE)
This patch fixes the ordering.
I stumbled accorss this issue while adding a new format to
gst_ffmpeg_formatid_get_codecids()

This removes the internal interleave loop and always negotiates
the native output layout of the libav decoder. Users can use
audioconvert to interleave if necessary.
Special care has been taken to leave the encoder unaffected by
the changes in avcodecmap, since GstAudioEncoder doesn't support
the non-interleaved layout yet.

We were ignoring these before the port to 4.0, interpreting them
as GST_FLOW_ERROR / GST_ELEMENT_ERROR causes check failures.
We should start using GST_*_DECODER_ERROR in latter commits,
for now simply restore the previous behaviour.
avcodec_align_dimensions2 uses context->pix_fmt to make its
calculations, we thus need to make sure it is adequately set
when calling it.
Fixes:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080 \
! avenc_mpeg4 ! avdec_mpeg4 ! xvimagesink
This showed invalid writes under valgrind, then segfault.
