Add support for a set of standard commands that can be queried and executed to
support applications like DVD. Add query construction and parsing functions.
Add new messages that can be sent on the bus to provide notifications related
to commands, multiangle changes, and button highlight activity.
Add some helper functions to parse the existing GstNavigation events that
elements might receive.
Document it all and add unit tests.
Save the tunnelid in the connection. Add a method to retrieve the tunnelid so
that a server can store and match the id against other tunnel requests.
Fix the URI in the tunnel requests so that they contain the absolute uri and the
query string if any instead of just the hostname.
Transparently base64 decode the input stream when tunneling.
Add method to set the connection ip address so that it can be included in the
tunnel response.
Add method to connect the two tunnel requests.
Add two callbacks for the async mode to notify a tunnel start and tunnel
complete event.
Add method to reset the watch after the connection has been tunneled.
Various little refactoring to make more stuff reusable.

API: RTSP::gst_rtsp_connection_get_tunnelid()

Add a uri handler to appsink.
don't emit signals when we have installed callbacks on appsink.
Add callbacks to appsrc to replace the signals.
Add property to disable callbacks in appsrc, default to TRUE for backwards
compatibility but disable when callbacks are installed.

API: GstAppSrc::gst_app_src_set_emit_signals()
API: GstAppSrc::gst_app_src_get_emit_signals()

Add some padding to the callbacks structure just to be safe.
Remove the now invisible marshaller methods from the docs.
Fix a comment in the unit test.
These three flags allow all know combinations of interlaced formats. They should
only be used when the caps contain 'interlaced=True'.
Fixes#163577 (yes, it's a 4 year old bug).
Make the RTSPConnection object opaque so that we can extend it in the future.
Rename GstRTSPChannel to GstRTSPWatch to avoid confusing with the RTSP channels.
Based on pacth by Martin Samuelsson <martin dot samuelsson at axis dot com>
Fixes#571299.
Add gst_app_sink_set_callbacks() to install a set of callbacks. This is a more
performant alternative to connecting to the signals.
Add a unit test for appsink.
Clean up some of the appsink docs.
API: GstAppSink::gst_app_sink_set_callbacks()
Add a GstRTSPChannel object that wraps a GSource around the RTSP connection so
that the connection can be monitored from a maincontext. This allows us to
operate in ASYNC mode, which is handy when building a server.
Rework the old code to use the async code under the hood.
API: gst_rtsp_channel_new()
API: gst_rtsp_channel_unref()
API: gst_rtsp_channel_attach()
API: gst_rtsp_channel_queue_message()
Add gst_rtsp_message_take_header() that takes ownership of the passed header
value. This allows us to avoid an allocations and memory copy in some
situations.

Port GstAudioFilter to 0.10. This change technically breaks
API and ABI (and thus also every library developer's heart),
but seems justifiable on the grounds that the base class was
completely unusable before (ie. would crash immediately when
actually used). Fixes#403963 (and eventually also #403572).
Also document all of this a bit.

from the 0.9 days (GST_BASE_SINK_CLOCK, which it points to, was
removed from the base sink API between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7).
API: add GST_VIDEO_SINK_CAST and use it for the height/width
accessor macros, so we don't do a runtime GObject type check every

DISCID without depending on libgstcddabasesrc (which used to register
them).
