libtheora has two encoding modes, CBR, where it tries to hit a target
bitrate and VBR where it tries to achieve a target quality.
Internally if the target bitrate is set to anything other then 0 the
encoding-mode is CBR.
This means that the gstreamer element can leave the video_quality
setting alone as long as the user is tweaking the bitrate. Which has the
nice side-effect that if the user explicitely sets the bitrate to 0
(which is actually the default), the quality value doesn't get reset and
one ends up encoding VBR at quality-level 0...
Otherwise, having 2 tagdemux in a row followed by an element operating in
pull mode will make the second tagdemux implictly eat the first tagdemux'
tag event(s).
Fixes (part of) #641047.
In case the ogg mapper doesn't handle all the accepted input formats
(although it really should). Saves us error handling for that case
though. Also log caps properly.

Using the IN_CAPS flag for this is brittle, and will fail if either
vorbisparse or vorbistag (which is itself based on vorbisparse) is
inserted between oggdemux and oggmux. Possibly other elements too
(eg, theoraparse, etc).
Using oggstream ensures we Get It Right More Often Than Not.

Discontinuities are automatically signalled by oggdemux at the start
of a new stream. When oggmux is yet to output actual data pages,
do not signal these discontinuities in the ogg stream.
This patch may miss some actual discontinuities at the very start of
a stream, but avoids the spurious missing pages when encoding happens
normally.
A better fix might involve finding a way to distinguish between actual
data discontinuities and discontinuities merely marking the start of
a new stream.
Fixes an issue with ogg page numbering (would skip a number for no
reason, which then looks like a packet was lost somewhere) when
re-muxing an ogg stream, e.g. when re-tagging in rhythmbox.

Remove "This property requires libtheora version >= 1.1" qualifiers
from property descriptions. They aren't needed any longer now that
we require libtheora >= 1.1.
... as that is the specification and fixes compilation on Cygwin:
gstxmptaag.c: In function 'read_one_tag':
gstxmptag.c:1015: error: array subscript has type 'char'
Variable was being written to and could cause crashes
if multiple elements were parsing xmp at the same time.
Moving it to local scope solves the problem.
This makes sure we do not touch the stream taglist once the pipeline has
been prerolled. Adding of stream tags happens in the pad event probe
which runs in a different thread from discoverer stream processing, so
modifying the tag list while discoverer might be processing it can
sometimes cause a crash.

This avoids a race where the timeout callback is scheduled to run but we
get sufficient information to finish discovery before actually getting
around to executing the callback. See the documentation of
g_source_is_destroyed() for more details.
