GstNetAddress can be used to store ancillary data which was received with
or is to be sent alongside the buffer data. When used with socket sinks
and sources which understand this meta it allows sending and receiving
ancillary data such as unix credentials (See `GUnixCredentialsMessage`)
and Unix file descriptions (See `GUnixFDMessage`).
This will be useful for implementing protocols which use file-descriptor
passing in payloaders/depayloaders without having to re-implement all the
socket handling code already present in elements such as multisocketsink,
etc. This, in turn, will be useful for implementing zero-copy video IPC.
This meta uses the platform independent `GSocketControlMessage` API
provided by GLib as a part of GIO. As a result this new meta does not
require any new dependencies or any conditional compliation for
portablility, although it is unlikely to do anything useful on non-UNIX
platforms.
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.

These docs missed many details that were not obvious and because of that
handled in a few different, incompatible ways in different elements and base
classes.

TRUE is 1, but every other non-zero value is also considered true. Comparing
for equality with TRUE would only consider 1 but not the others.
Also normalize booleans in a few places.
The point of this example is to show how to set caps
on the source pad once it has been set on the sink pad.
So, in passthrough mode, the caps is just copied to the
source pad.

Add a method letting people to ensure that unreffing one object
leads to its destruction, and possibly the destruction of more object
(think destruction of a GstBin etc...).

Adds API to get or peek a sub-reader of a certain size from
a given byte reader. This is useful when parsing nested chunks,
one can easily get a byte reader for a sub-chunk and make
sure one never reads beyond the sub-chunk boundary.
API: gst_byte_reader_peek_sub_reader()
API: gst_byte_reader_get_sub_reader()
* GstGlobalDeviceMonitor was renamed to GstDeviceMonitor
* Expand GST_MESSAGE_DEVICE to the full enum value names
* Correct the incorrect references to the GstDeviceProvider interfaces
* Describe caps arguments for gstcheck interface
* Add missing docs for GstNetAddressMeta and its add function
* Add docs for toc helper macros
* Avoid refering to GstValueList type as done elsewhere

The start and stop should represent the currently downloading region.
The estimated-total should represent the remaining time to download
the currently downloading region. This makes it a lot more useful
for applications because they can then use those values to update
the fill region and use the estimated time to delay playback.
Update the docs with this clarification.
Currently there is no other way to unlock a buffer pool other then
stopping it. This may have the effect of freeing all the buffers,
which is too heavy for a seek. This patch add a method to enter and
leave flushing state. As a convenience, flush_start/flush_stop
virtual are added so pool implementation can also unblock their own
internal poll atomically with the rest of the pool. This is fully
backward compatible with doing stop/start to actually flush the pool
(as being done in GstBaseSrc).

When we call gst_buffer_pool_set_config() the pool may return FALSE and
slightly change the parameters. This helper is useful to do the minial required
validation before accepting the modified configuration.
