Add section docs for multichannel, so that it has a short desc in the toc too.
Move the section docs in adio up, so that the follow the copyright like
elsewhere.
Original commit message from CVS:
* docs/libs/gst-plugins-base-libs-sections.txt:
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.c:
(gst_audio_check_channel_positions):
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.h:
API: Make gst_audio_check_channel_positions() public.
* tests/check/libs/audio.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Add some simple checks for gst_audio_check_channel_positions().
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.c:
(gst_audio_check_channel_positions),
(gst_audio_set_structure_channel_positions_list),
(gst_audio_fixate_channel_positions):
Allow rear center together with rear left/right and other previously
conflicting channel positions. The reason why they weren't allowed
was the channel mixing implementation in audioconvert.
Also take this into account when fixing channel layouts.
Allow setting channel positions for 1/2 channels when using
gst_audio_set_structure_channel_position().
* gst/audioconvert/gstchannelmix.c:
(gst_channel_mix_fill_compatible), (gst_channel_mix_detect_pos),
(gst_channel_mix_fill_one_other), (gst_channel_mix_fill_others),
(gst_channel_mix_fill_special), (gst_channel_mix_fill_matrix):
Major rewrite of the channel mixing.
We now allow previously conflicting channel positions to appear
together (rear center and rear left/right for example).
Fixes bug #533817.
Rework the way channels are mixed together to take more possible
channel positions into account, properly mix from/to side channels
and don't assume that either center, left&right or nothing of a
specific position is available anymore.
* tests/check/elements/audioconvert.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Adjust unit tests with non-standard 1/2 channel layouts to the more
correct new behaviour.
Add a unit test for 5.1->Stereo downmixing.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.c:
(gst_audio_check_channel_positions):
Allow non-standard 2 channel layouts.
* tests/check/elements/audioconvert.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Add some tests for converting and remapping non-standard 1 and 2
channel layouts.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.c:
(GST_AUDIO_CHANNEL_POSITIONS_FIELD_NAME),
(gst_audio_get_channel_positions), (gst_audio_set_channel_positions),
(gst_audio_set_structure_channel_positions_list),
(add_list_to_struct), (gst_audio_set_caps_channel_positions_list),
(gst_audio_fixate_channel_positions):
Fix confusing terminology in docs and code: structure fields are
'fields' and not 'properties'.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.c:
(gst_audio_check_channel_positions), (add_list_to_struct):
Give more useful warning messages if one of the channel
layout enums passed to us is invalid and if the "channels"
field in the caps has a GType we don't expect.
Original commit message from CVS:
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.c: (caps_add_channel_configuration),
(gst_alsa_detect_channels):
* ext/alsa/gstalsasink.c:
Add support for cards that (only) do more than 8 channels,
like the Delta 44 (#345188).
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.c:
(gst_audio_check_channel_positions):
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.h:
API: add GST_AUDIO_CHANNEL_POSITION_NONE, which stands for an
unspecified channel position and cannot be combined with any
of the other audio channel positions; adjust position layout
checks accordingly (#345188).
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.c:
(gst_audio_check_channel_positions),
(gst_audio_fixate_channel_positions):
Const-ify two arrays.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.c:
(gst_audio_check_channel_positions):
It's okay to have caps with channels=1 and a channel position
different from GST_AUDIO_CHANNEL_POSITION_FRONT_MONO
(deinterleavers might want to keep the position in the caps,
so that they can be re-interleaved again properly later).
Leave check for unexpected 2-channel layouts intact for now.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.c:
Minor docs fix.
* gst-libs/gst/riff/Makefile.am:
* gst-libs/gst/riff/riff-ids.h:
* gst-libs/gst/riff/riff-media.c:
(gst_riff_wavext_add_channel_layout), (gst_riff_create_audio_caps):
Add support for WAVEFORMATEX, eg. PCM audio with more than two
channels and a channel layout map.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.c:
(gst_audio_get_channel_positions):
When we have more than 2 channels, but no channel layout is
specified in the caps, return some default channel layout
to the caller and warn about about a possibly buggy element
(could be buggy filtercaps as well of course) (#317038).
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/audio/multichannel.c:
(gst_audio_get_channel_positions),
(gst_audio_set_channel_positions),
(gst_audio_set_structure_channel_positions_list),
(gst_audio_fixate_channel_positions):
Use gst_value_array_*() functions on value arrays, not
gst_value_list_*().
