Before it returned that [start,stop] is inside the segment and that the
difference between segment_start and start needs to be clipped. If the
clipping is done on a buffer (like in baseaudiosink) this will result
in the data pointer being at a invalid memory position.
Fixes bug #589849.
Check for metadata writability when setting caps on buffer or when copying
metadata flags. Only enable these extra assertions in git versions.
This should help us find bad elements.
Often we don't need the result of the intersection. Add a variant that only
tries to intersect. It can break out earlier and does less GValue copying.
API: gst_caps_can_intersect()
The "album artist" tag is used when the artist of an entire
album differs from the artist of an individual track; for example,
when a "guest artist" appears on an album, or on compilations.
Fixes bug #590430.
GstTaks does not always unref the taskpool it was created from because it
depends on when the pool provided an ID for joining the task.
Rework some code so that we always unref the pool and optionally join when the
pool provided an id.
Fixes#589127
For now, don't show a g_warning() for empty tag strings and NULL
tags with non-git versions; we should wait for the fixes in our
plugin modules to make it into a release before we enable this
unconditionally.
Add a quick return if two types are the same. Change the check for the
intersection function to be the same as the one used in intersect(). The
later tries both directions.
Don't forbid the empty string "" in generic structures, only in taglists.
Properly allow the NULL string by adding special cases for serialising
and deserialising it. prop1=(string)NULL is the NULL string,
prop1=(string)"NULL" is the actual string with the value "NULL"
Add a new macro GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET to get a log category by name. This
allows plugins to use e.g. core categories like PERFORMANCE or CLOCK.
API: GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET
This makes the generated code faster since:
* It won't have to read an undirect value (which will most likely be
outside of the L1/L2 cache)
* We know that value never changes (the compiler has no clue that it doesn't).
It is not too obvious that getting and releasing request pads is not entierly
symetrical regarding to the pad refcount. Add a note about that to the docs.
This might deserve a FIXME-0.11 too.
