When we are handling a buffer and need to allocate an output buffer, handle the
case when downstream suggests us a format that we can't convert the input buffer
to. In that case, check if there is another format available downstream instead
of failing.
Fixes#621332 and see also #614296
If initially pass-through caps are negotiated between a transform element's
sink and src pads, but then the downstream element returns different caps
on a buffer from pad_alloc(), basetransform gets stuck with proxy_alloc=TRUE
even though the upstream peer doesn't accept the caps, causing
gst_pad_peer_accept_caps() to be called on each buffer in _buffer_alloc():
if (!gst_caps_is_equal (newcaps, caps)) {
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (trans, "caps are new");
/* we have new caps, see if we can proxy downstream */
>> if (gst_pad_peer_accept_caps (pad, newcaps)) {
/* peer accepts the caps, return a buffer in this format */
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (trans, "peer accepted new caps");
which is taking ~40ms/frame.
This patch does two things. (1) if the buffer returned from pad_alloc() has
new caps, trigger the decision whether to proxy the buffer-alloc to be
revisited, and (2) disable proxy if peer does not accept new caps. (The first
part may not be strictly needed, but seemed like a good idea.)
Note that this issue would not arise except in case of downstream elements
who have on their template-caps, some that would be suitable for pass-through,
but at runtime pick more restrictive caps (for ex, after querying a driver for
what formats it actually supports).
When basetransform received an unsupported caps on pad_alloc
it just returned not-negotiated. This patch makes it query
the allowed caps between his sinkpad and upstream's srcpad
to find a caps to suggest.
This happens when dinamically switching pipeline elements
and upstream pad_allocs with the previous caps that was
being used.
Fixes#614296
Allow subclasses to override the acceptcaps function because in some cases a
custom implementation can be much much faster than the default one.
See #621190
When doing pad_allocs, use non-fixed caps suggestions and
try to fixate them before using. This makes possible to
have suggested buffer size with 0 in basetransform just
to signal upstream a renegotiation is needed

There's not much point in using GST_DEBUG_FUNCPTR with GObject
virtual functions such as get_property, set_propery, finalize and
dispose, since they'll never be used by anyone anyway. Saves a
few bytes and possibly a tenth of a polar bear.
In most places in core and baseclasses we just need the caps to do caps-
intersections. In that case ref'ed caps are enough (no need to copy).
This patch also switches the code to use the new functions.
API: gst_pad_get_caps_refed(), gst_pad_peer_get_caps_refed()
Check when we need to touch the metadata of the output buffer after selecting
the output buffer so that we have everything in one place.
Also take flags and timestamp modifications into account.
When we have the same input as output caps, reuse the input caps object. After
the caps refcounting has been sorted out now, we can finally enable this
optimisation.
While reconfiguring a basetransform element we need also to recheck
the alloc request. Because it's possible that due to caps changes
the proxy_alloc state is not correct anymore.

Protect sink_alloc caps with the sinkpad lock to avoid nasty caps
refcount problems as seen in banshee and maybe also in farsight2.
Remove atomic int now that we need to take the lock anyways.

cleanly if requested to apply caps that don't completely specify the
buffer. Fixes#551509
