Add a method to enable async start behaviour. The subclass can then complete the
start operation from any other thread by caling gst_base_src_start_complete().
The base class can wait for the start to complete with
gst_base_src_start_wait().
Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We can't change most of
these in 0.10 because they're part of our API and ABI.
Add the pad mode to the activate function so that we can reuse the same function
for all activation modes. This makes the core logic smaller and allows for some
elements to make their activation code easier. It would allow us to add more
scheduling modes later without having to add more activate functions.
Turns some boolean arguments in the scheduling query to flags, which are easier
to extend and makes the code easier to read.
Make extra methods for configuring and querying the supported scheduling modes.
This should make it easier to add new modes later.
Remove the getcaps function on the pad and use the CAPS query for
the same effect.
Add PROXY_CAPS to the pad flags. This instructs the default caps event and query
handlers to pass on the CAPS related queries and events. This simplifies a lot
of elements that passtrough caps negotiation.
Make two utility functions to proxy caps queries and aggregate the result. Needs
to use the pad forward function instead later.
Make the _query_peer_ utility functions use the gst_pad_peer_query() function to
make sure the probes are emited properly.
Don't rely on the return value of a vmethod to trigger the default
implementation but make a real defaul implementation of the method that the
subclass can chain up to.
The fixate caps function was not used externally and we have vmethods in the
base classes where it is needed.
Update some docs.
simplify some fixate functions in the base classes. Also pass the untruncated
caps to the vmethod.
If a class extending basesrc doesn't set blocksize, basesrc
would try to allocate a (guint)-1 sized buffer, which is enormous
and likely would fail.
Avoid it and error out.
Name the allocation vmethod on srcpad decide_allocation because source pads will
have to decide what allocation parameters will be used.
Name the allocation vmethod on sinkpads propose_allocation because they will
need to configure the allocation query with a proposed values for upstream.
Remove the negotiation from the state change function, it causes data transfer
and bufferpool negotiation, which is not supposed to be done. Since we have the
reconfigure state on the pad, the create function will do the negotiation as
soon as it gets in the streaming thread.
Don't change the state of the bufferpool when going between PAUSED and PLAYING,
it will dealloc and realloc all buffers, which is clearly too invasive. We will
need to add some other way of unblocking the bufferpool.
