The alignment guaranteed by malloc is not always sufficient. E.g. vector
instructions or hardware subsystems want specifically aligned buffers. The
attached patch will use posix_memalign if available to allocate buffers.
The desired alignment can be set when running configure using the new
--with-buffer-alignment option.
This changes some APIs in compatible ways:
- Some functions now take "const char *" arguments, not "char *"
- Some structs now have "conts char *" members, not "char *"
The changes may cause warnings when compiling with the right warning
flags. You've been warned.
Also adds -Wwrite-strings as a warning flag in configure.ac.

Adds that warning to configure.ac
Includes a tiny change of the GST_BOILERPLATE_FULL() macro:
The get_type() function is no longer declared before being defined.

Previous code treated "1/1yourmom" the same as "1/1" and "1wimsmom" the
same as "1". Now the code is stricter and will fail to convert a
fraction when followed by garbage text.
This may cause crashes when logging is enabled, especially on windows.
It's not safe to pass random pointers to g_type_check_instance_is_a().
Fixes#611719.
Add check to make sure gst-plugin-scanner really gets installed where
we will look for it later, ie. paths and prefixes are set at configure
time and not specified via make.
Fixes#609941.
Late g_thread_init() is fine with newer GLib versions and done automatically
from g_type_init() there, so don't warn if the application hasn't called
g_thread_init() yet when gst_init() is called with new GLib versions.
Fixes#608398.
Refactor the code to take the current start_time when going to PAUSED.
Make sure we also call the start_time update code after we chained up to the
parent bin.
Fixes#607842
If the GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER environment variable is set, we should try
the scanner specified there first, to make sure the right scanner binary
is used for uninstalled setups and builds from source when there's
already an installed version.
We require threads to be supported in any case and defining this
will simplify the mutex, condition variable, etc. macros from gthread
to not always check if threads are really supported.
Fixes bug #607481.
For the reason outlined at the beginning of gst_private.h (inline
functions in glib may need the g_log_domain variable). Also include
gst_private.h before using any G_OS_* defines, esp. in plugin loader.
This check is not necesarry as we are not negotiating anymore. And it can
be wrong if upstream can't produce this caps anymore, but downstream can
process them fine.
All callers of this static function already check for NULL-ness
themselves, so no need to do it again (and if we do it, we should
probably do so before dereferencing the pointer for the first time).
Avoid checking the GType of the value twice (once on our side and
once in g_value_get_*()) by by-passing g_value_get() and accessing
the GValue structure directly.
