Original commit message from CVS:
merge TYPEFIND branch. Major changes:
- totally reworked type(find) system
- bytestream is out of the core again
- typefind element is now part of gstelements
Original commit message from CVS:
New typefind system:
* bytestream is now part of the core
* all plugins have been modified to use this new typefind system
* asf typefinding added
* mpeg video stream typefiding removed because it's broken
* duplicate typefind entries removed
* extra id3 typefinding added, because we've seen 4 types of files
(riff/wav, flac, vorbis, mp3) with id3 headers and each of these needs
to work. Instead, I've added an id3 element and let it redo typefiding
after the id3 header. this needs a hack because spider only typefinds
once. We can remove this hack once spider supports multiple typefinds.
* with all this, mp3 typefinding is semi-rewritten
* id3 typefinding in flac/vorbis is removed, it's no longer needed
* fixed spider and gst-typefind to use this, too.
* Other general cleanups
Original commit message from CVS:
- added support for _reset so PLAYING -> READY -> PLAYING can easily be done without destroying a bytestream first
- minor performace improvement on data request (hope it doesn't break anything - if it does revert the changes to gst_bytestream_peek_bytes
Original commit message from CVS:
- The clock_wait now returns the difference between requested time and
unlock time.
- Misc defines like GST_SECOND in gstclock.h
- remove pre/post in gstelement.c until fixed.
- added release_locks to gstelement so that the element can unlock itself
- added some more predefined events.
- added folowing functions to gstpad:
- convert function: get the relation between formats on this pad
- query function: get stats about the pad (position/total/latency)
- internal connect function: find out how this pad connects to other
pad internally to the element.
- generic pad_dispatcher.
- removed the last bits of pullregion
- use release_locks on the queue.
- added some events to queue
- make gstthread use the new release_locks function
- make the scheduler use the new clock_wait functions
- added events to fakesink
- added query functions to filesrc
- swap type and offset in the bytestream seek API to match fseek
- added some event handling in bytestream.
Original commit message from CVS:
New bytestream fileio style api has landed, along with some minor fixes:
- implement gst_bytestream_tell
- prevent buffers from being gobbled after a seek
Original commit message from CVS:
Added gst_bytestream_get_timestamp() call to get timestamp of data at
the front of the stream. If no data in stream, loads 1 byte to get a
new buffer and uses its timestamp.
Does nothing to handle readers that try to read data lengths that span
buffers with multiple timestamps.
_get_timestamp() now used when creating new buffers.
