Suppose you have a project where GStreamer and wayland-protocols are
pulled in as dependencies via .wrap files. In that case, Meson's setup
step will fail for gst-plugins-bad with the message "Sandbox violation:
Tried to grab file viewporter.xml outside current (sub)project." To
avoid this exception, one should use Meson's `files` and `join_paths`
functions. The suggested solution is identical to how GTK 4 processes
Wayland files.

A payload of 0x80 0x80 means that it's padding. It's not a good idea to
throw this away though, because of the cc_valid field.
According to CEA 10-B section 25.2.1, if cc_valid is zero, the run-in
clock and start bit should not be generated. In practice, this means
that any closed captions will be erased and the end-user TV will show
that captions are not available for this stream. This might have
undesired consequences, e.g. we were just showing a long line of
captions and we disable it before the user has had time to read it, or
you can't enable closed captions during silence/music intervals.
We cannot reliably detect whether there's a currently-silent closed
caption stream or just nothing, but we have this information coming from
upstream, so we can at least not discard it.

When decoding stream using hardware V4L2 decoder element, in any of the
currently supported formats, the decoding will fail once frame number
1000000 is reached. The reported error clearly indicates a wrap-around
occured, instead of receiving decoded frame 1000000, frame 0 is received
from the hardware V4L2 decoder driver.
The problem is actually not in the driver itself, but rather in gstreamer,
which uses `struct v4l2_buffer` member `.timestamp` in a special way. The
timestamp of buffers with encoded data added to the SINK (input) queue of
the driver is copied by the driver into matching buffers with decoded data
added to the SOURCE (output) queue of the driver. In fact, the timestamp
is not a timestamp at all, but rather in this special case, only part of
it is used as an incrementing frame counter.
The `.timestamp` is of type `struct timeval`, which is defined in
`sys/time.h` [1]. Only the `tv_usec` member of this structure is used
for the incrementing frame counter. However, suseconds_t tv_usec [2]
may be limited to range [-1, 1000000]:
"
[XSI] The type suseconds_t shall be a signed integer type capable of
storing values at least in the range [-1, 1000000].
"
Therefore, once frame 1000000 is reached, a rollover occurs and decoding
fails.
Fix this by using both `struct timeval` members, `.tv_sec` and `.tv_usec`
with matching modular arithmetic, this way the failure would occur again
just short of 2^84 frames, which should be plenty.

This pair of elements, inspired from shmsink/shmsrc, send unix file
descriptors (e.g. memfd, dmabuf) from one sink to multiple source
elements in other processes.
The unixfdsink proposes a memfd/shm allocator, which causes for example
videotestsrc to write directly into memories that can be transfered to
other processes without copying.

The src caps of the libde265 is now fixed to I420, and so if the
stream is other format, such as 4:4:4 or 10 bits format, the pipeline
will crash because the dowstream element accesses the video buffer as
I420 format.
We now restrain the input caps to "main" profile, which only contains
4:2:0 8 bits stream.

This can happen with the dummy "noopenh264" library that the freedesktop
flatpak runtime ships, and Fedora is planning on shipping as well. In
both cases the dummy implementation gets replaced with the actual
openh264 library that's downloaded directly from Cisco, but just to be
on safe side, this patch makes it careful to check the return values to
avoid crashing if the underlying library hasn't been swapped out yet.
The patch is taken from freedesktop-sdk and was originally written by
Valentin David <valentin.david@codethink.co.uk>.

If users update geometry related properties very frequently
for a stream to be animated, redrawing on every update
can make rendering choppy or can be a performance bottleneck.
To address the issue, adding a property to control the behavior
of redrawing scene when geometry related properties are updated.
Also, do not resize swapchain on such property update, since
re-allocating backbuffer and multi-sampled render target is
unnecessary in that case.

ISimpleAudioVolume controls volume of corresponding audio session
and there would be only single input/output audio session
in case of share-mode, which means that it controls audio volume of the
process. Instead, use IAudioStreamVolume interface which controls
volume of the stream.
