They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
This provides an audio-filter and video-filter property to allow
applications to set filter elements/bins. The idea is that these will
e
applied if possible -- for non-raw sinks, the filters will be skipped.
If the application wishes to force the application of the filters, this
can be done by setting the new flag introduced on playsink -
GST_PLAY_FLAG_FORCE_FILTERS.

2 seconds might be too small for some container formats, e.g.
MPEGTS with some video codec and AAC/ADTS audio with 700ms
long buffers. The video branch of multiqueue can run full while
the audio branch is completely empty, especially because there
are usually more queues downstream on the audio branch.
Usually these buffers are multiple seconds large, and having a maximum
of 5 buffers in the multiqueue there can use a lot of memory. Lower
this to 2 for adaptive streaming demuxers.
If we have the peer caps and a caps filter, return peer_caps +
intersect_first (filter, converter_caps) instead of
intersect_first (filter, peer_caps + converter_caps) and preservers
downstream caps preference order.

If we are using an adaptive stream demuxer, which outputs a non-container
stream, we are putting another multiqueue after the *parser* following
the adaptive stream demuxer. We do not want to add another instance of
the same parser right after this multiqueue.
Otherwise we will emit buffering messages not just from the last
multiqueue but also from previous multiqueues... confusing the
application with different percentages during pre-rolling.
For adaptive streaming demuxer we insert a multiqueue after
this demuxer. This multiqueue will get one fragment per buffer.
Now for the case where we have a container stream inside these
buffers, another demuxer will be plugged and after this second
demuxer there will be a second multiqueue. This second multiqueue
will get smaller buffers and will be the one emitting buffering
messages.
If we don't have a container stream inside the fragment buffers,
we'll insert a multiqueue below right after the next element after
the adaptive streaming demuxer. This is going to be a parser or
decoder, and will output smaller buffers.
Adaptive streams should download its data inside the demuxer, so
we want to use multiqueue's buffering messages to control the
pipeline flow and avoid losing sync if download rates are low;

Otherwise there's an interesting race condition when we destroy
the inputselector (actually it will be destroyed later when its state
change message gets destroyed) and afterwards release its sinkpad.
This is the code path when the last channel is removed from the
input selector.
Gave this warning sometimes, for chained oggs or whenever else
we change decode groups:
GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Padname '':sink_0 does not belong to element inputselector0 when removing
If the text pads does not go away we just set the overlay to silent, which
allows us to immediately re-enable subs later again. However before this
change we also released the streamsynchronizer text pads, which deadlocked
because there was still dataflow going on. Just do this only if we remove
the complete chain.

Change the way autoplug-select is accumulated so that it's possible to have
multiple handlers. The handlers keep getting called as long as they keep
returning GST_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_TRY.
One practical example of when this is needed is when hooking into playbin's
uridecodebin, which is perhaps not very elegant but the only way to influence
which streams playbin autoplugs/exposes.

Discussion on IRC indicated that the main reason for this list was to
prevent demuxers that can trigger a lot of seeking from using
progressive buffering using queue2 (which due to being seekable triggers
that behaviour).
However given that upstream can indicate seeks are possible but should
be avoided via a scheduling query, this extra whitelisting shouldn't be
necessary for well-behaved demuxers.

If a pipeline fails to preroll, it might happen that the sinks are
put into READY state from playbin's sink activation, but they are never
set to playsink, so they aren't being managed by a GstBin and will keep
their READY state until they are unreffed, leading to a warning.
Prevent this by always forcing them to NULL when deactivating a group

Otherwise we will remove the bus that would proxy messages to playsink
and never set it again. If the sink is already in playsink, all failures
are fatal anyway as it's either a sink that worked before or one that
was set by the user.

playbin will now only activate the sinks in a single place and
will never change the states of any sinks that are owned by
playsink.
Also handle text-sinks the same way as audio/video sinks inside
playbin.
This makes sure the application gets any context related messages and
can do whatever is required to a) get the sink a context or b) share
the context with other elements in the pipeline.
The proxying is necessary because the sink is not a child element of
playbin, but instead will at a later point be a child of some bin
inside playsink.

Otherwise we're going to deadlock forever because no autoplugging
happens without having caps, but caps can never be send because
we're blocking.
Serialized queries before caps should never be sent unless really
necessary.
We found a case where untranslated values were being passed from the
proxy to the underlying channel, causing bad color balance values
in some setups.
Thanks to Sebastian Dröge for clarifying how the code works, and
suggesting the fix.

This allows to chose something else than input-selector
for multiple audio/video/text streams, e.g. an adder could
be used for audio.
It is needed for example to implement some of the more
advanced HTML5 video features.

Add the actual decoder/parser/etc caps at the very end to
make sure we don't cause empty caps to be returned, e.g.
if a parser asks us but a decoder is required after it
because no sink can handle the format directly.
Otherwise we will only block after the serialized, non-sticky event
after the CAPS event or the first buffer. If we're waiting for another
pad to finish autoplugging after we got final caps on this pad, it
will mean that we will let the ALLOCATION query pass although the
pad is not exposed yet.
