Check and generate remote reception statistics from the info stored on
internal sources, as they are stored there when running against newer rtpbin
since MR !7424
This fixes cases where statistics are incomplete when
peers send RR reports from a single remote ssrc, which GStreamer does
when bundling is enabled and other RTP stacks may too.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/7425>
In some cases, decodebin3 will send us incomplete caps (not containing
codec_data), and then a GAP event, which will force a negotiation.
This segfaults due to a null pointer deref because self->input_state
is NULL.
The only possible fix is to avoid negotiating when we get incomplete
caps (to avoid re-negotiationg immediately afterwards, which isn't
supported by some muxers), but also set as much input state as
possible so that a renegotiation triggered by a GAP event can complete
successfully.

Move RB info from receiver reports into the internal source that the RR
are about, and deprecate (but retain) the old mapping where each
external source has only a single RB entry in the rtp statistics.
The old method is broken if a remote peer uses a single ssrc to send
receiver reports for more than one of our internal sources, other
as multiple RB in a single packet, or alternate RB in different reports.
In each case only the most recent entry was kept, overwriting data for
other internal sources.
In multicast scenarios each internal source may receive multiple
receiver reports from different peers. To support that, all received
RR's are now stored into a hash table indexed by the sender's SSRC,
and all RRs are placed into an array when generating statistics, so
that the information from all peers is retrievable.
The current deficient behaviour (adding RB info into non-internal RTPSources) is
deprecated but kept in order to be backward compatible, and retained
that way in the generated statistics structure.

In order to ensure all initial events (stream-start, caps, ..) are present on
pads that we expose, those various sticky events are propagated (from parsebin
to multiqueue output, from multiqueue output to exposed pads).
The problem was that the "hack" in `urisourcebin` to inform downstream elements
that the stream is parsed data and a collection will be present was only done in
one place : a probe on the output of parsebin ... but the stream-start could
potentially have already been propagated to the output pads before that.
In order to fix that, we make sure any pending sticky stream-start event is
updated before being propagated.

This new LCEVC encoder plugin is meant to implement all LCEVC encoder elements.
For now, it only implements the LCEVC H264 encoder (lcevch264enc) element. This
element essentially encodes raw video frames using a specific EIL plugin, and
outputs H264 frames with LCEVC data. Depending on the encoder properties, the
LCEVC data can be either part of the video stream as SEI NAL Units, or attached
to buffers as GstMeta.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/7330>
This new element wraps both the base H264 decoder and lcevcdec elements into a
bin so that LCEVC decoding works with auto-plugging elements such as decodebin.
By default, the H264 decoder element with higher rank is used as base decoder,
but any particular H264 decoder can be used by manually setting the base-decoder
property.

This new LCEVC decoder plugin is meant to implement all LCEVC decoder elements.
For now, it only implements the LCEVC enhancement decoder (lcevcdec) element.
This element essentially enhances raw video frames using the LCEVC metadata

meant to be used after any base decoder (eg avdec_h264).

This improves the h264parse element to attach LCEVC enhancement data to buffers
using the new GstLcevcMeta API. This metadata will eventually be used downstream
by LCEVC decoders to enhance the RAW video frame.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/7330>
This new metadata API allows elements to attach LCEVC enhancement data to video
buffers. Usually, the video parser elements are charged to parse the LCEVC
enhancement data from SEI Nal units (Supplemental enhancement Information).
However, other elements such as demuxers can also use this API if the LCEVC
enhancement data of the video is stored in a separate stream in the container.

Previously urisourcebin only allows stream-collections messages from adaptive
demuxers or sources to be posted.
This commit also allows the case where they come from a single parsebin. We
still want to prevent it in the case where they are multiple parsebins, since
that would require some form of aggregation to show a single/unified collection.
In order to avoid a regression with uridecodebin3 behavior, we also implement
support for GST_QUERY_SELECTABLE, so that uridecodebin3 can figure out whether
it should let GST_MESSAGE_STREAM_COLLECTION flow upwards (because app/user could
react on it) or whether it drops it in order for decodebin3 to do the collection
aggregation and posting.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/7597>
The presence (or not) of a collection on an input will determine whether events
will be throttled so that there are only forwarded when that input gets a valid
collection.
Therefore the input lock should be used.
In addition to that, we want to ensure that the application/user has a chance to
reliably (i.e. synchronously) specify what streams it is interested in by
sending a GST_EVENT_SELECT_STREAMS.
But we cannot allow anything to go forward until that message posting has come
back, otherwise we run in various races.

Temporarily release the video decoder stream lock so that other

This is an efficient string storage for short strings without heap allocations,
and falling back to the heap for bigger allocations. Almost all structure fields
and structure names in use nowadays are short enough to not require a heap
allocation.
As structure names and fields are sometimes dynamically created, storing them in
a GQuark can create a memory leak and potentially a DoS attack by continously
triggering creating of new quarks.

This notably follow the way we order the template and keeps the
format:Interlaced caps at the end. This change also fixes
an early skip check, that would skip if a driver only supports
alternate interlacing for a specific format. It also fixes
a bug where only the last resolution of a discrete frame size
was allowed to use format:Interlaced. Finally, similar to template
caps code, simplify the caps for earch featurs, making the debug output
manageable and (marginally) improve negotiation speed.

In qml6glsrc, we capture the application by copying the back buffer into
our own FBO. The afterRendering() signal is too soon as from the apitrace, the
application has been rendered into a QT internal buffer, to be used as a cache
for refresh.
Use afterFrameEnd() signal instead. This works with no delay on GLES. With GL
it seems to reduce from 2 to 1 frame delay (this may be platform specific). A
different recording technique would need to be used to completely remove this

By setting the earliest time to timestamp + 2 * diff there would be a difference

If the UVC gadget announces multiple formats in the descriptors the uvcsink
doesn't select the actual format but let's the UVC hosts select the format.
If the GStreamer pipeline is started before a UVC host selected the format,
upstream decides on a format until the UVC host has decided. In this case, the
current format needs to be set based on the caps from the caps event to be able
to detect if the format selection by the UVC host requires a format change on
the GStreamer pipeline.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/7473>
The uvcsink may be put into the READY state to start listening for UVC requests.
Therefore, the UVC host may set a streaming format before the GStreamer pipeline
is started and the uvcsink received a caps event. In this case, prev_caps will
be NULL.
If the EVENT_CAPS has not been received, skip the check if the format needs to
be changed, since the sink will be started with the format selected by the UVC
host, anyway.

Sometimes under certain loads, VT can error out with kVTVideoEncoderMalfunctionErr or kVTVideoEncoderNotAvailableNowErr.
These have been reported to happen more often than usual if CopyProperty/SetProperty() is used close to the encode call.
Both can be worked around by restarting the encoding session.
These errors can be returned either directly from VTCompressionSessionEncodeFrame() or later in the encoding callback.
This patch handles both scenarios the same way - a session restart is be attempted on the next encode_frame() call.
If the error is returned immediately by the encode call, it's possible that some correct frames will still be given to
the output callback, but for simplicity (+ because I wasn't able to verify this scenario) let's just discard those.
In addition, this commit also simplifies the beach/drop logic in enqueue_buffer.

webrtcsrc first creates recvonly transceivers with codec-preferences
and expects that after applying a remote description, the
previously created transceivers are used rather than having new
transceivers created.
When pairing webrtcsink + webrtcsrc, the offer sdp from webrtcsink has a media
section with sendonly direction. In !7156, which was implemented following
RFC9429 Section 5.10, we only reuse a unassociated transceiver when applying a
remote description if the media is sendrecv or recvonly, and that caused creation
of new transceivers when applying a remote offer in webrtcsrc, thus losing
information from codec preferences like the RTP extension headers in the
previously created transceivers.
Since the change in !7156 broke existing code from webrtcsrc, relax the condition
for reusing unassociated transceivers and add a test to document this behavior which
wasn't covered by any tests before.

There were two main issues:
The mix matrix was not protected with the object lock
The code was mistakenly assuming that after updating the mix matrix
a reconfigure event sent upstream would be enough to cause upstream to
send caps again, and the converter was only reconstructed in ->set_caps.
That was not actually enough, as if the new matrix didn't affect the
number of input / output channels there was no reason for upstream to do
anything after getting the unchanged caps.
The fix for this was to have ->transform also recreate the converter
when needed, with the added subtlety that depending on the mix matrix
the element could be set to passthrough. This means that when setting
the mix matrix the converter also had to be recreated immediately to
check if the element had to be switched back to non-passthrough.
