Not only if the video sink is set to PLAYING so far. Also give more
useful debug output about why we don't start, and don't start if already
started.
Also refactor the function to early-return instead of having a huge
if-else block over the whole function.

The Decklink and GstAudioBaseSink APIs don't fit very well together,
which causes various problems due to inaccuracies in the clock
calculations and the actual ringbuffer and GStreamer's copy getting of
sync.
Problems are audio drop-outs and A/V sync getting wrong after
pausing/seeking.

HRESULT is unsigned long on Windows, but the Decklink headers define
it to 'int' on Linux. Confusingly, the defines that talk about the
possible return values for it use long constants. The easy fix would
be to change the linux/LinuxCOM.h header, but that's copied from the
decklink SDK.
Change the logging to always upcast to unsigned long while printing
HRESULT for consistency across platforms.

This reverts commit 845832263b.
The commit broke cross-mingw CI:
https://ci.gstreamer.net/job/GStreamer-master/8659/console
It seems that cross-mingw on Autotools and native-mingw on Meson
disagree about the size of HRESULT. Revert for now till I can
investigate the Meson side of things some more.
This seems to happen sometimes on some hardware, and is not really
critical as long as the scheduling of the normal frames works fine.
Only post a warning message for this case.
and error out here already otherwise. We currently don't support
reconfiguration here and it can't happen really either unless the auto
mode is selected.
First of all, all the HD and UHD modes should be top-field-first, as
also returned by the Decklink mode iterator API.
Then we should include the caps field "field-order" in the caps of the
source (not the sink due to negotiation problems with optional fields).
And finally we should set the TFF flag on interlaced buffers that are
top-field-first.
The hardware timestamps have no relation to when frames were produced,
only when frames arrived somewhere in the hardware. Especially there is
no guarantee that audio and video will have the same hardware timestamps
although they belong together, and even more important: the rate with
which the hardware timestamps increase is completely unrelated to the
rate with which the frames are captured!
As such we can as well use the pipeline clock directly and stop doing
complicated calculations. Also as a side effect this allows now running
without any pipeline clock, by directly making use of the stream times
as reported by the driver.

Unfortunately this does not go through the normal state change
machinery, so we don't get notified about this in change_state().
However we need to stop scheduled playback, so that once PLAYING is
reached again we can start scheduled playback with the correct time.
Without this, flushing seeks in PLAYING will not work correctly:
decklinkvideosink will wait before showing the new frames for the amount
of time the pipeline was in PLAYING before.
Scale down to milliseconds, otherwise at least some hardware has problems
scheduling the frames (or schedules them too slow) and we run out of available
frames.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770282
When the mode of decklinkvideosink is set to "auto", the sink claims to
support the full set of caps that it can support for all modes. Then, every
time new caps are set, the sink will automatically find the correct mode for
these caps and set it.
Caveat: We have no way to know whether a specific mode will actually work for
your hardware. Therefore, if you try sending 4K video to a 1080 screen, it
will silently fail, we have no way to know that in advance. Manually setting
that mode at least gave the user a way to double-check what they are doing.

Otherwise we're going to return times starting at 0 again after shutting down
an element for a specific input/output and then using it again later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755426
We were converting all times to our internal running times, that is the time
the sink itself spent in PLAYING already. But forgot to do that for the
running time calculated from the buffer timestamps. As such, all buffers were
scheduled much later if the pipeline's running time did not start at 0.
This happens for example if a base time is explicitly set on the pipeline.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754528
Otherwise we might start the scheduled playback before the audio or video streams are
actually enabled, and then error out later because they are enabled to late.
We enable the streams when getting the caps, which might be *after* we were
set to PLAYING state.
This fixes handling of flushing seeks, where we will get a PAUSED->PLAYING
state transition after the previous one without actually going to PAUSED
first.
Otherwise we will overflow the internal buffer of the hardware
with useless frames and run into an error. This is necessary until
this bug in basesink is fixed:
