In various use-case you want to dynamically change the framerate (e.g.
live streams where the available network bandwidth changes). Doing this
via capsfilters in the pipeline tends to be very cumbersome and racy,
using this property instead makes it very painless.
With unfixed caps we can't reliably decide if the final caps
are going to be "raw" (e.g. supported by a sink) or not.
We will get here again later when the caps are fixed.
The codec setup headers are a lot more likely to have correct information,
especially as it's easy to remux a skeleton in a file where streams don't
have the same parameters (I've even seen a file with two skeletons).
Still, this is useful in the case we have a codec we can't decode, so we
can at least (theoretically) convert granpos to time, so we discard this
information if the codec setup has already provided it.
This fixes playback on (at lesat) the original archive.org encoding of
"The Night of the Living Dead" (now replaced by another encoding).

The /*< ... >*/ style is only used for public|protected|private,
signal comments use /* signals */. This prevents the some code
parsers/binding generators to be confused by the comment.
If subdrained isn't initialized to FALSE then a chain might think
that its group is drained when in fact it's not and this can cause
a switch too early or even cause a deadlock.
This could happen when testing with navseek, and pressing
right and left at roughly the same time. The current chain
is temporarily moved away, and this caused the flush events
not to be sent to the source pads, which would cause the
data queues downstream to reject incoming data after the
seek, and shut down, wedging the pipeline.
Now, I can't really decide whether this is a nasty steaming
hack or a good fix, but it certainly does fix the issue, and
does not seem to break anything else so far.

This patch implements seeking in push mode (eg, over the net)
in Ogg, using the double bisection method.
As a side effect, it also fixes duration determination of network
streams, by seeking to the end to check the actual duration.
Known issues:
- Getting an EOS while seeking stops the streaming task, I can't
find a way to prevent this (eg, by issuing a seek in the event
handler).
- Seeking twice in a VERY short succession with playbin2 fails
for streams with subtitles, we end up pushing in a dataqueue
which is flushing. Rare in normal use AFAICT.
- Seeking is slow on slow links - byte ranges guesses could be
made better, decreasing the number of required requests
- If no granule position is found in the last 64 KB of a stream,
duration will be left unknown (should be pretty rare)

This reverts commit b0b4e286c8.
We agreed that the previous (pre-.35) behaviour is broken and a bug and the
current behaviour is correct, deterministic and allows the application to
handle stuff properly while the old behaviour can't be handled properly by
applications and just worked in some applications by luck.
The solution to the problem that was solved by relying on the old, broken
behaviour would be, to make decodebin2/playbin2 more aware of decoders and
improve the autoplugging of decoders by considering the caps supported by the
sink instead of just using something with the highest rank.
See bug #656923.
Fixes regression since 0.10.33 where sinks that can cope with non raw
caps or custom caps are not autoplugged if there's a sink configured
with the properties video-sink and audio-sink which cannot handle
the stream. This change checks for compatibility on the configured one
and use it if success. Otherwhise it tries with the found factories.
The first packet of a sparse stream may arrive after an initial
delay in the stream. If ogg_stream_packetout reports a discontinuity
in a sparse stream, do not propagate it to other streams in the
chain unnecessarily.

This reverts commit a22faad18a. Instead
of disabling subtitles completelly when video stream have custom caps,
just let the sutbtileoverlay cope with them as now it's able to.
Implement handling of non raw video streams by avoiding colorspace
elements and autoplugging a compatible renderer if available. Fallback
to passthrough if no compatible renderer is found.
Only log in debug log for now, since the check is a bit
half-hearted, its purpose is mostly to make sure people
use gst_filename_to_uri() or g_filename_to_uri().

Note that there is already a AMF detection for a different
magic, I'm not sure if that's a different format with the
same initials or not. AMF is used for a few different formats
(including video), so...
This fixes playbin2 playing Asylum modules.

This patch prevents timestamp like "1 1:00:00", which would have been seen
as hour 101 by our parser, and allow single digit hour, minute and seconds
as it's already supported by the parser, and also by other implementation
like in mplayer. This fixes bug 657872.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657872
This will cause not-linked errors that usually don't happen
because normal decoders/parsers will set srcpad caps before
allocating buffers from downstream.
g_value_get_object() does not give us our own ref.
Fixes "Trying to dispose object "flacparse", but it still has a parent "registry0".
You need to let the parent manage the object instead of unreffing the object directly."
and similar warnings.

If both quality and bitrate are set, libtheora will try to meet
both constraints, causing it to prefer emitting a smaller number
of good frames, to emitting the full number of frames that would
not meet the requested quality. This causes a slideshow effect
when the bitrate is low and the quality is high. And the default
theoraenc is high (48/63).
So only set quality when it is requested, and leave it unset
otherwise.
