We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
Various plugins use special values (0 or G_MAXUINT32) as an
invalid/unset group_id, but nothing guarantees a groupid won't have
that value.
Instead define a value which group_id will never have and make
gst_group_id_next() always return a value different from that.
API: GST_GROUP_ID_INVALID
Various plugins use the value of '0' as an invalid seqnum value
(qtdemux for matching duplicated seek events, for example). Make
that behaviour explicit, create a GST_SEQNUM_INVALID value,
and ensure gst_util_seqnum_next never returns it.
This is to help bindings access properties of type GST_TYPE_ARRAY.
This function will get/set the property and convert form/to
GValueArray.
New API:
gst_util_set_object_array
gst_util_get_object_array

To make sure the value is only expanded/used once, in case
there are side effects to it, and to avoid calculating it
or looking it up multiple times if there is a calculation
or lookup involved.
We already had a _full() version, but having that alone seems inconsistent.
Add a non-full version that mirrors the behaviour of gst_pad_link() vs
gst_pad_link_full().
This is a useful function to automatically add ghost pads when linking
two elements across bin boundaries without know their exact parentage.
e.g. when using gst_parse_bin_from_description (with or without it ghosting pads),
one can simply retreive the src/sink pads from the bin to link to another pad.
Similar functionality is provided by gst_element_link_pads{_full}() however only
by pad name rather than by actual pads.
API: gst_pad_link_maybe_ghosting_full

gst_bin_sync_children_states() will iterate over all the elements of a bin and
sync their states with the state of the bin. This is useful when adding many
elements to a bin and would otherwise have to call
gst_element_sync_state_with_parent() on each and every one of them.

gstutils.c:3659:41: error: format string is not a string literal
[-Werror,-Wformat-nonliteral]
gchar *expanded = g_strdup_vprintf (stream_id, var_args);

All streams that have the same group id are supposed to be played
together, i.e. all streams inside a container file should have the
same group id but different stream ids. The group id should change
each time the stream is started, resulting in different group ids
each time a file is played for example.
Add gst_buffer_append() which appends the memory blocks from one buffer to
another. Remove the old inefficient _merge() and _join() methods which forced a
premature memcpy in most cases.
Remove the _is_span() and _span() methods they are not needed anymore now that
we can _append(). Merging and spanning will be delayed until mapping or maybe
not at all when the element can deal with the different memory blocks.
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.
Remove the getcaps function on the pad and use the CAPS query for
the same effect.
Add PROXY_CAPS to the pad flags. This instructs the default caps event and query
handlers to pass on the CAPS related queries and events. This simplifies a lot
of elements that passtrough caps negotiation.
Make two utility functions to proxy caps queries and aggregate the result. Needs
to use the pad forward function instead later.
Make the _query_peer_ utility functions use the gst_pad_peer_query() function to
make sure the probes are emited properly.
The idea was originally that if one passed &dest_fmt with
dest_fmt=GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT, then the code answering the query
could change dest_fmt to the actual default format used. However,
in more than half a decade of GStreamer 0.10 no piece of code in
GStreamer has ever used that feature, nor are there that many
users of this API that actually check whether the format returned
is the original format passed before using the values returned.
Also, it's just annoying-to-use API in its own right.
For all these reasons, make it so that the destination format is
passed directly and can't be changed by the element queried.
This reverts commit de29ae7b92.
Re-adds GFLOAT_TO_LE, GFLOAT_TO_BE, GDOUBLE_TO_LE, and GDOUBLE_TO_BE.
Turns out these aren't in GLib yet afer all (since we didn't
actually open a bug to get them added..)
