The available channel positions are all channels from SMPTE 2036-2-2008
(in that order) and DTS Coherent Acoustics, which are basically all 28
channels that currently can appear.
The channels are now expressed in the caps as a channel-mask, which
describes which of the channels are present, and an optional
channel-reorder-map, which must only be used after negotiation for
fixated caps.
For negotiation only the channel-mask and the channel count is relevant
and all elements are expected to handle all reorder maps. Elements that
don't can use the new API to reorder an audio buffer from any order to
another order.
This simplifies negotiation a lot while still having as few reorderings
necassary as possible and still allow all kinds of channel layouts.
Rename the offset field in GstVideoFormatInfo to poffset to avoid confusion with
the offset of the plane in the buffer. The poffset is the offset in the plane
where the first byte of the component data can be found.
Properly implement the COMP_OFFSET calculations.
Fix YV12 and YVU9, simply use the same offsets as the regular I420 and YUV9
variants, we use the plane info to reorder components already.
Improve the unit test.
Pads are initialized twice: when requesting pads and when
initializing collectpads. Avoid double initialization by
checking if collectpads are still going to be initialized when
creating request pads.
We have removed things like protocol=gdp in the tcp elements
in favour of explicit gdppay/depay elements, so there's no need
to keep a public API and library for now. We can still add it
back later. Someone needs to think hard about 0.11 and gdp
anyway one of these days.
Make a new method to allocate a buffer + memory that takes the allocator and the
alignment as parameters. Provide a macro for the old method but prefer to use
the new method to encourage plugins to negotiate the allocator properly.
Improve GstSegment, rename some fields. The idea is to have the GstSegment
structure represent the timing structure of the buffers as they are generated by
the source or demuxer element.
gst_segment_set_seek() -> gst_segment_do_seek()
Rename the NEWSEGMENT event to SEGMENT.
Make parsing of the SEGMENT event into a GstSegment structure.
Pass a GstSegment structure when making a new SEGMENT event. This allows us to
pass the timing info directly to the next element. No accumulation is needed in
the receiving element, all the info is inside the element.
Remove gst_segment_set_newsegment(): This function as used to accumulate
segments received from upstream, which is now not needed anymore because the
segment event contains the complete timing information.
Hide the GstStructure of the event in the implementation specific part so that
we can change it.
Add methods to check and make the event writable.
Add a new method to get a writable GstStructure of the element.
Avoid directly accising the event structure.
So run-time bindings can introspect the names correctly (we abuse this
field as description field only in elements, not for public API
(where the description belongs into the gtk-doc chunk).
