Otherwise we will have 10s-100s of thread wakeups in feedback profiles, create
RTCP packets, etc. just to suppress them in 99% of the cases (i.e. if no
feedback is actually pending and no regular RTCP has to be sent).
This improves CPU usage and battery life quite a lot.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746543
If we may suppress the packet due to the rules of RFC4585 (i.e. when
below the t-rr-int), we can send a smaller RTCP packet without RRs
and full SDES. In theory we could even send a minimal RTCP packet
according to RFC5506, but we don't support that yet.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746543
Otherwise we can't properly schedule RTCP in feedback profiles as we need to
distinguish the time when we last checked for sending RTCP (tp) but might have
suppressed it, and the time when we last actually sent a non-early RTCP
packet.
This together with the other changes should now properly implement RTCP
scheduling according to RFC4585, and especially allow us to send feedback
packets a lot if needed but only send regular RTCP packets every once in a
while.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746543
And modify our RTCP scheduling algorithm accordingly. We now can send more
RTCP packets if needed for feedback, but will throttle full RTCP packets by
rtcp-min-interval (t-rr-int from RFC4585).
In non-feedback mode, rtcp-min-interval is Tmin from RFC3550, which is
statically set to 1s or 0s by RFC4585. Tmin defines how often we should
send RTCP packets at most.

This reverts commit d22ec49632.
Application code might expect that it only gets external sources on those
signals, and get confused by this. If anything we would need to add new
signals.
Without this it seems impossible for an application to easily get notified
about the internal ssrcs that are created, e.g. sender sources, and also
to know when they are active and produce RTCP packets.

This reverts commit 1591adf4cd.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745586#c1:
It's the beginning of an implementation of RFC 2762, which is needed for
large multicast groups. The implementation is not yet complete but why
not leave what is there and implement RFC 2762 instead?
rtpsession declares an array of maps to store srrcs but only the
the key 0 is being used. This patch replaces the array of maps
for just one map and remove useless parameters in rtpsession

According to RFC 4585 section 3.5.3 step 1 we are not allowed to send
an early RTCP packet for the very first one. It must be a regular one.
Also make sure to not use last_rtcp_send_time in any calculations until
we actually sent an RTCP packet already. In specific this means that we
must not use it for forward reconsideration of the current RTCP send time.
Instead we don't do any forward reconsideration for the first RTCP packet.
This will be emitted whenever an RTCP packet is received. Different to
on-feedback-rtcp, this signal gets every complete RTCP packet and not
just the individual feedback packets.
It had no effect since quite some time and also is not needed in general,
especially not to switch between immediate feedback mode and early feedback
mode. The latest understanding of the RFC is that from the endpoint point of
view, both modes are exactly the same. RTCP is only allowed to use the
bandwidth as given by the RFC constraints, as such it is only ever possible
to schedule a RTCP packet early but it's against the RFC to schedule more RTCP
packets.
The difference between immediate feedback mode and early feedback mode is that
the former guarantees that an RTCP packet can be sent for every event
"immediately", which means that the bandwidth calculations from the RFC have
resulted in an RTCP scheduling interval that is small enough. Early feedback
mode on the other hand means that we can schedule some packets early to make
that happen, but it's not guaranteed at all that it's possible to schedule
an RTCP packet per event (i.e. they need to be accumulated or dropped).
This indicates with a boolean return value if scheduling a new RTCP packet
within the requested delay was possible. Otherwise it behaves exactly like
send-rtcp. The only reason for adding a new signal is ABI compatibility.
In early retransmission we are allowed to schedule 1 regular RTCP packet
at an earlier time. When we do that, we need to set allow_early to FALSE
and ignore/drop (or merge) all future requests for early transmission.
We now first check if we can schedule an early RTCP and if we can,
actually prepare the data for the next RTCP interval.
After we send the next regular RTCP after the early RTCP, we set
allow_early to TRUE again to allow more early requests.
Remove the condition for the immediate feedback for now.

1) sources that have sent BYE in the past cannot be senders, since
they would have timed out to being receivers in the meantime...
2) sources that have sent BYE are now being removed earlier inside
this function
As we now replace the local RTPSource on a conflict, it's no longer possible
to keep local conflicts in the RTPSource, so they instead need to be kept
in the RTPSession.
Also fix the rtpcollision test to generate multiple collisions instead of
one by change the address, as otherwise we detected that it was a single one.
When the internal-ssrc property changes, we want to send a reconfigure
upstream to make payloaders use the new suggested ssrc.
Using the internal-ssrc property to change the SSRC of a stream is not a
good idea and doesn't work when there are multiple senders, we want to
set the SSRC directly on the payloaders. Therefore, deprecate this
property.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725361
According to RFC 5104 section 4.3.1.2, RTCP PSFB FIR message SHALL
have a media_ssrc field set to 0. The actual media ssrc is in the FCI.
So in that case, we ignore the retained feedback and just let it through
to the rtp_session_process_fir() function which will check for the actual
SSRC inside the FCI.
Fixes a regression introduced by commit 57c27ec3
Previously, when the session had multiple internal sender SSRCs, it would
issue SR reports with RB blocks only on the first RTCP timeout and afterwards
SR reports would be sent empty. This was because the "generation" number
in RTPSource would increase more than once during the same cycle and afterwards
it would always be greater than the session's generation, which would cause
it to be skipped from being included in RBs.
This commit fixes this problem by:
1) Increasing the RTPSource generation only at the end of each cycle,
which essentially fixes the problem but only when the internal senders
are less than GST_RTCP_MAX_RB_COUNT.
2) Keeping for each RTPSource a set of SSRCs which stores which SSRC's
SR the given RTPSource has been reported in, which also fixes the problem
when the internal senders are more than GST_RTCP_MAX_RB_COUNT. This is
necessary because of the fact that any RTPSource is marked as reported
in itself's SR and makes it impossible to know if it has been reported
in other SRs too or not, and which.
Keep an extra stats structure for scheduling the BYE packets. When we
decide to schedule BYE, make a copy of the current stats into the
bye_stats. Then while we schedule the BYE, update and use only the
bye_stats. When we finished scheduling the BYE packet, we use the
regular stats again.
When we are scheduling BYE packets, ignore all RTCP for the sources that
are scheduling a BYE packet. Other sources that are not scheduling BYE
should continue receiving RTCP packets as usual.
An internal sender in a session is also a receiver of its own packets so update
the receiver stats. Other senders in the session will use this info to generate
correct RB blocks in their SR reports.
Don't update the next RTCP check time in all cases but only when we
reconsidered. This avoids delaying sending a full RTCP packet when we
are doing early feedback.
Make a method to suggest the best available SSRC. This is the SSRC of the last
created internal source and is used to instruct upstream to produce this
SSRC.
