Add a max-bitrate property that will slightly delay rendering of buffers if it
would exceed the maximum defined bitrate. This can be used to do
rate control on network sinks, for example.
API: GstBaseSink::max-bitrate
API: gst_base_sink_set_max_bitrate()
API: gst_base_sink_get_max_bitrate()
Define a 0 and -1 step amount. They used to almost do the same thing but now, 0
cancels/stops the current step and -1 keeps on stepping until the end of the
segment.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679378
when we have a new step event with a -1 amount, make sure that we follow the
regular code path so that the stop_end handler is called as usual. This takes
care of flushing the buffer in case of a flushing step and also posts a step end
message.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679378
Rename gst_base_sink_wait_eos() to gst_base_sink_wait() to avoid confusion and
introspection problems with the ::wait_eos vmethod. Also this method can be used
to wait for other things than EOS. Update the docs a little.
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.
Use the new RESET_TIME message to reset the start-time of the pipeline to the
requested time.
Make basesink request a new running-time when the flush-stop message tells it to
insteasd of waiting for preroll.
Add a prepare method that is called before sync happens. The purpose of this
method is to prepare the rendering of the giving buffer so that the following
render() call after sync is a quick as possible.
Rework some caps operations so they don't rely on writable caps but instead take
ownership of the input caps and do _make_writable() only when needed.
Remove some const from caps functions, it does not make much sense for
refcounted objects and does not allow us to return a refcount to the const input
caps.
Rework the base classes fixate vmethods to not operate on the caps in-place.
All this saves us around 30% of caps and structure copy and new operations.
