Some audio sink sub-classes (pulsesink) don't start their clock
when the ringbuffer starts, but always have to on EOS. When we
explicitly need to start the ringbuffer, make sure sub-classes will
do it by (ab)using the existing eos_rendering flag.
Otherwise calls to get the clock time might change its internal state
and the internal/external time for calibration get unbalanced leading to
a clock jump

The same was done already in the decoder, and we cleaned some state just above
manually that would also be taken care of by reset().
This makes sure that the element is in the same state before start() is called
the very first time and every future call after the element was used already.
The implementation of that vfunc might want to use the object lock for
something too. It's generally not a good idea to keep the object lock while
calling any function implemented elsewhere.
Also the ringbuffer can only be NULL at this point, remove a useless if block.
And in the sink actually hold the object lock while setting the ringbuffer on
the instance. Code accessing this is expected to use the object lock, so do it
here ourselves too.
Allows subclasses to do custom caps query replies.
Also exposes the standard caps query handler so subclasses can just
extend on top of it instead of reimplementing the caps query proxying.
Allows decoders to proxy downstream restrictions on caps.
Also implements accept-caps query to prevent regressions caused by the
new fields on the return of a caps query that would cause the accept-caps
to fail as it uses subset caps comparisons
The spec mentions a version of the MPEG-2 frame with a base frame and
extension frame. I don't have IEC 13818-3 to figure out what that is,
and don't see any references in search results, so it's a FIXME for now.

When playing chained data the audio ringbuffer is released and
then acquired again. This makes it reset the segbase/segdone
variables, but the next sample will be scheduled to play in
the next position (right after the sample from the previous media)
and, as the segdone is at 0, the audiosink will wait the duration
of this previous media before it can write and play the new data.
What happens is this:
pointer at 0, write to 698-1564, diff 698, segtotal 20, segsize 1764, base 0
it will have to wait the length of 698 samples before being able to write.
In a regular sample playback it looks like:
pointer at 677, write to 696-1052, diff 19, segtotal 20, segsize 1764, base 0
In this case it will write to the next available position and it
doesn't need to wait or fill with silence.
This solution is borrowed from pulsesink that resets the clock to
start again from 0, which makes it reset the time_offset to the time
of the last played sample. This is used to correct the place of
writing in the ringbuffer to the new start (0 again)

Move the assert to the error handling block at the end of the function so the
the logging is still triggered. Reword the logging slightly and add another
comment to hint what went wrong.
Fixes#737138
Issue:
During a PAUSED->PLAYING transition when we are rendering an audio buffer in AudioBaseSink
we make adjustments to the sink's provided clock i.e. fix clock calibration using the external
pipeline clock, within "gst_audio_base_sink_sync_latency function inside gstaudiobasesink.c".
For the calibration adjustment we need to get the sink clock time using "gst_audio_clock_get_time".
But before calling "gst_audio_clock_get_time" we acquire the Object Lock on the Sink. If sink is
a pulsesink, "gst_audio_clock_get_time" internally calls "gst_pulsesink_get_time" which needs to
acquire Pulse Audio Main Loop Lock before querying Pulse Audio for its stream time using
"pa_stream_get_time". Please see "gst_pulsesink_get_time in pulsesink.c".
So the situation here is we have acquired the Object lock on Sink and need PA Main Loop Lock.
Now Pulse Audio Main Thread itself might be in the process of posting a stream status
message after Paused to Playing transition which in turn acquires the PA Main loop lock and
needs the Object Lock on Pulse Sink. This causes a deadlock with the earlier render thread.
Fix:
Do not acquire the object Lock on Sink before querying the time on PulseSink clock. This is
similar to the way we have used get_time at other places in the code. Acquire it after the
get_time call. This way PA Main loop will be able to post its stream status message by
acquiring the Sink Object lock and will eventually release its Main Loop lock needed for
gst_pulsesink_get_time to continue.

As was done for the base video decoder in commit 695675, don't
flush out the decoder on a new SEGMENT event. Segment events
may be a new segment, but are also often segment updates for
the current segment where the old data should be kept. For new
segments, a STREAM_START event will already trigger a drain, but
make sure to flush any remaining partial data then as well.

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.
