We could have allocation query before caps event and even without caps inside
the query. In such cases , the downstream can return a bufferpool object with
out actually configuring it. This feature is helpful to negotiate the bufferpool
with out knowing the output video format. For eg: some hardware accelerated
decoders can interpret the o/p video format only after it finishes the decoding
of one buffer at least.

This avoids triggering plenty of extra code/methods/overhead downstream when
we can just quickly check whenever we want to set caps whether they are
identical or not

Either there was a flush before that resets everything anyway,
or resetting would make us lose information we might need if
it's just a segment update.
In the unlikely case that the decoder drops a frame before the first
input frame is outputted, use the input segment (since it wasn't
carried over to the output segment yet)

We have no way of tell the caller of the exact error (e.g. if we're flushing),
so will have to wait until the caller uses API that returns a GstFlowReturn,
for example when pushing this buffer.

For this release the corresponding GstVideoCodecFrame before
pushing the buffer. The buffer will now be writable unless
the subclass still holds another reference to the buffer or
the frame.
When we get a new buffer, always call the parse function, even if it is a 0
sized buffer. For theora we need to also decode 0 sized buffers.
Ideally we would like to make theoradec be packetized but that fails currently
because of oggdemux and because of the assumptions that the base class makes.
DTS and PTS usually have a non-zero offset between them in MPEG-TS,
so assigning DTS to PTS is almost always wrong. The other, newer
timestamp recovery code does it correctly if we leave it as invalid.
And only return the proportion. The earliest time already can be
retrieved from get_max_decode_time() and by renaming we allow this
to be more extensible in the future.
Add a getter for the QoS proportion and earliest_time to help
subclasses do better estimations based on the proportion.
API: gst_video_decoder_get_qos_info()

Monitor for reordered output timestamps, and then avoid oldest DTS
as PTS approach, and try for an oldest PTS as out PTS approach,
if at least all valid PTS available.
Avoids bogus estimating upon sparse available input PTS, and tries
to handle all-keyframe input, or input PTS which are actually DTS.
Hold both the stream and the object lock to modify the output_state,
this way it can be safely modified while hold either one or the other.
Also, only hold the object lock in the query
