Rework some caps operations so they don't rely on writable caps but instead take
ownership of the input caps and do _make_writable() only when needed.
Remove some const from caps functions, it does not make much sense for
refcounted objects and does not allow us to return a refcount to the const input
caps.
Rework the base classes fixate vmethods to not operate on the caps in-place.
All this saves us around 30% of caps and structure copy and new operations.
Answer the allocation query with FALSE when we are not negotiated yet because at
that point we have no idea if we need to proxy the allocation query or not.
Previously only the last would be pushed, which would cause
invalid running times downstream. This also fixes the handling
of update newsegment events.
The segment start adjustment code in pull mode should never trigger
anymore because the bisection code earlier would have already made
sure that we're at the desired position.
Also move the gap handling some lines below after sending the currently
configured segments. Otherwise we might fill gaps in a segment that is
not configured downstream yet.
Add a vmethod to filter metadata that should be passed upstream. By default,
don't pass anything.
Add a vmethod to transform metadata from the input buffer to the output buffer.
By default, nothing is transformed or copied.
Remove metadata that describes the particular memory of the buffer it is
attached to. We need to do this because in non-passthrough mode we will allocate
new memory for our output buffer.
Improve the propose allocation vmethod by passing the downstream allocation
query to it. This way the vmethod implementation can use properties of the
downstream allocation to generate the upstream query result. If there is no
downstream quety, it means that the element is working in passthrough mode.
Implement a default decide_allocation.
Rename gst_base_transform_suggest to gst_base_transform_reconfigure_sink because
that is what it does. Also remove the caps and size because that is not needed.
Rename gst_base_transform_reconfigure to gst_base_transform_reconfigure_src.
Remove some old unused code in capsfilter.
Always call the propose_allocation method and provide a default implementation
that passes the query on in passthrough mode so that subclasses can also call
this. Also pass if the transform is in passthrough mode so that the
implementation can adjust its algorithm.
Make it possible to also implement non-inplace fixate functions. Let the fixate
function make the caps writable when needed because some fixate functions might
not need to modify the caps.
Make it possible to configure a GDestroyNotify and user_data for
gst_memory_new_wrapped() this allows for more flexible wrapping of foreign
memory blocks.
Use a frame flag to signal to subclass it should reset any retained
state w.r.t. frame parsing since the frame being passed is 'new',
i.e. not related to previously passed and processed data.
Make the pad activation code look more like other activation code.
Only start the sinkpad task when we decide to activate in pull mode, when we
later add srcpad pullmode this will be needed.
