In particular, consider DISCONT == !sync, and allow subclass to query
sync state, as it may want to perform additional checks depending
on whether sync was achieved earlier on.
Also arrange for subclass to query whether leftover data is being drained.
In particular, (optionally) provide baseparse with a notion of frames per second
(and therefore also frame duration) and have it track frame and byte counts.
This way, subclass can provide baseparse with fps and have it provide default
buffer time metadata and conversions, though subclass can still install
callbacks to handle such itself.
After all, stream is as-is, and there is little molding to downstream's
taste that can be done. If subclass can and wants to do so, it can
still override as such.
Also handle the case gracefully where the subclass decides to drop
the first buffers and has no caps set yet. It's still required to
have valid caps set when the first buffer should be passed downstream.
In one case we extracted the sample rate index from the codec data
and saved it as sample rate rather than getting the real sample
rate from the table. Fix that, and also make sure we don't access
non-existant table entries by adding a small helper function that
guards against out-of-bounds access in case of invalid input data.
Create output caps from input caps, so we maintain any fields we
might get on the input caps, such as codec_data or rate and channels.
Set channels and rate on the output caps if we don't have input caps
or they don't contain such fields. We do this partly because we can,
but also because some muxers need this information. Tagreadbin will
also be happy about this.
Sending the flush-start event forward before taking the stream lock actually
works, in contrast to deadlocking in downstream preroll_wait (hunk 1).
After that we get the chain function being stuck in a busy loop. This is fixed
by updating the minimum frame size inside the synchronization loop because the
subclass asks for more data in this way (hunk 2).
Finally, this leads to a very probable crash because the subclass can find a
valid frame with a size greater than the currently available data in the
adapter. This makes the subsequent gst_adapter_take_buffer call return NULL,
which is not expected (hunk 3).
The problem is that after a discont, set_min_frame_size(1024) is called when
detect_stream returns FALSE. However, detect_stream calls check_adts_frame
which sets the frame size on its own to something larger than 1024. This is the
same situation as in the beginning, so the base class ends up calling
check_valid_frame in an endless loop.
Baseparse internaly breaks the semantics of a _chain function by calling it with
buffer==NULL. The reson I belived it was okay to remove it was that there is
also an unchecked access to buffer later in _chain. Actually that code is wrong,
as it most probably wants to set discont on the outgoing buffer.
Original commit message from CVS:
* tests/check/Makefile.am:
* tests/check/elements/aacparse.c:
* tests/check/elements/amrparse.c:
Add unit tests for new parsers.
1) We need to lock and get a strong ref to the parent, if still there.
2) If it has gone away, we need to handle that gracefully.
This is necessary in order to safely modify a running pipeline. Has been
observed when a streaming thread is doing a buffer_alloc() while an
application thread sends an event on a pad further downstream, and from
within a pad probe (holding STREAM_LOCK) carries out the pipeline plumbing
while the streaming thread has its buffer_alloc() in progress.
If we get GAP samples, there is no need to transmitt it.
In some situations, microphone is muted, we can drop net traffick
usage to ~1 kbit/s. Without patch it will stay ~20 kbit/s
Speex has build in silence detection. If speex_encode_int returns 0,
than there is silence and sample do not need to be transmitted.
This work only if vbr=1 and dtx=1 optionas are enabled.
So if we get 0, we add GAP flag to the sample.
