They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
All streams that have the same group id are supposed to be played
together, i.e. all streams inside a container file should have the
same group id but different stream ids. The group id should change
each time the stream is started, resulting in different group ids
each time a file is played for example.
The duration should be re-queried via a query using the
normal path, we don't want applications to use the value
from the message itself, since it might no match what a
duration query done from the sink upstream might yield.
Also disables duration caching in GstBin. It should be
added back again at some point.
Remove the estimated-total field, this should not be part of the buffering
message.
Set the default value of buffering-left to 0 when the percent is 100.
Move the locking methods from GstMemory to GstMiniObject.
Add a miniobject flag to enable LOCKABLE objects. LOCKABLE objects can
use the lock/unlock API to control the access to the object.
Add a minobject flag that allows you to lock an object in readonly mode.
Modify the _is_writable() method to check the shared counter for LOCKABLE
objects. This allows us to control writability separately from the refcount for
LOCKABLE objects.
Now that TOCs are refcounted and have a GType, we can just
stuff a ref of the TOC directly into the various toc
event/message/query structures and get rid of lots of
cracktastic GstStructure <-> GstToc serialisation and
deserialisation code. We lose some TOC sanity checking
in the process, but that should really be done when
it's being created anyway.
So mini objects don't have to poke into the GstMiniObject part
of the structure. Saves lines of code, and seems slightly cleaner.
We don't have proper OO hierarchies or methods here after all.
The size field is used by subclasses to store the total allocated size of the
memory for this miniobject. Because miniobject doesn't really do anything with
this field we can move it to the subclasses.
Add the running-time of the buffer that caused the async operation to complete
to the async-done message.
Update bin to handle the new async-done message.
Add a new message to reset the pipeline running_time. Currently reseting the
pipeline can only be requested in the async_done message which means that the
pipeline needs to be prerolled. It is better to move this to a separate message.
Make an _init method where the parent mini-object and other fields are
initialized.
Check that the passed structure doesn't already have a parent.
Use the _new_custom () constructors
We introduced our own when GLib didn't want to add a GType
for GError. But now that there is one, we can use GLib's
unconditionally and remove our version.
