This should result in no worse accuracy than the base parse element, and may
result in better accuracy. In particular, the number of bytes processed at any
given point, as accumulated by baseparse, can be only accurate to
(1 / # of frames) bytes per second, and if we try to seek immediately after
pausing the pipeline to a large offset, this small inaccuracy can propagate to
something noticeable.
The use case that prompted this patch is a 45-minute MPEG-1 layer 3 file, which
has a constant bit rate but no seek tables. Trying to seek the pipeline
immediately after pauisng it, without the ACCURATE flag, to a location 41
minutes in, yields a location that is, even with <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/merge_requests/374>,
still audibly incorrect. This patch yields a much closer position, no longer
audibly incorrect, and likely within a frame of the most correct position.

The parser can accept input that is not completely specified. Use the
ACCEPT_INTERSECT flag on the sinkpad to tweak the acceptcaps function to
check for intersection only. This allows us to proxy downstream
constraints while still allowing non-subset caps as input.
We can then also remove the appended template caps workaround.
Make a unit-test to check the new feature.
This reverts commit 26040ee38c
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705024
Otherwise we will intersect with the srcpad template caps and add all the caps fields
that the parser will ever set, no matter if downstream restricts this field or not.
This requires upstream to set this field on the caps to successfully negotiate.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690184
They should take the filter caps into account and always return
the template caps appended to the actual caps. Otherwise the
parsers stop to accept unparsed streams where upstream does not
know about channels, rate, etc.
Fixes bug #677401.
