In particular, in audio only cases whose (estimated) metadata provides bitrate
information, the buffer-size based on such bitrate (and buffer-duration)
will be much more reasonable than queue2 default buffer-size.
Instead of writing only the xmp tag for the first found entry
that matches the gstreamer tag, look for all mappings to write
the tag to different schemas.
The rationale here is that some reader application might only
be interested on a particular schema tags, so we should try
to write as many tags for all schemas.
This can be used by sinks to take compressed formats, correctly payload
these in IEC 61937 frames and feed these to sinks that support
passthrough output over IEC 60958 (S/PDIF) or, in the case of MP3, over
Bluetooth.
Initial implementation includes AC3, E-AC3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (non-AAC),
and DTS (type-I/II/II) payloading. More formats can be added as needed.

This allows subclasses to provide a "payload" function to prepare
buffers for consumption. The immediate use for this is for sinks that
can handle compressed formats - parsers are directly connected to the
sink, and for formats such as AC3, DTS, and MPEG, IEC 61937 patyloading
might be used.

Adds support for pushing E-AC3 buffers and doing bytes-to-ms conversion
correctly. The assumption (as with other formats) is that something like
IEC 61937 payloading will be used. Correspondingly the ringbuffer spec
is populated so that the data rate is 4x normal AC3.

These are meant to be used for buffers containing AAC data. Nothing uses
this yet, but for now it serves to distinguish from GST_BUFTYPE_MPEG
which represents non-AAC MPEG audio.
API: GST_BUFTYPE_MPEG2_AAC
API: GST_BUFTYPE_MPEG4_AAC
For streams at low bitrates we need to set a limit in time because the limit
in bytes might not reached too late, sometimes more than 30 seconds.
This limit can only be set if upstream is seekable (see #584104)

These reconfigure based on the caps and plugin in converters if
necessary. This also makes switching between compressed and raw
streams work flawlessly without loosing the states of any element
somewhere or having running time problems.
Before playbin2 would use different selectors for raw audio and
compressed audio (and the same for video) and used different
pads from playsink. This made the involved logic much more
complex and was not implemented completely in playsink, which
made it impossible to support files with a compressed and
uncompressed stream that is support by the sink.
playbin2 handles raw/non-raw streams the same now and the
decision is left to playsink, which now can also handle
caps changes from raw to non-raw and the other way around.
Fixes bug #632788.
Highlights:
- support for 16-bit-per-component video formats
- playbin2 fixes and improvements for custom and non-raw sinks
- oggmux muxes based on running time now
- many other fixes and improvements
