... in the extent that a non-waiting pad (so indicated by newsegment)
turns out to provide the best buffer, which is then forced to waiting
for book-keeping purposes, but that should only be temporary.
See bug #415754.
This handles muxing of sparse/subtitle streams and has
lots of cleanup. Still missing is special support for
live streams but this can be added later without breaking
API/ABI.
Based on the version from the videomixer plugin.

Speeds up negotiation a fair bit on a contrived pipeline
with a dozen colorspace conversions.
Hopefully clears out the cache every time it ought to.

API: GstBaseParseClass::detect()
This is called with the first buffers until the subclass has finished detection
and only afterwards the original buffers are handled as before. The vfunc allows
detection of the stream format without breaking the upstream framing.
Adds a getcaps function to the sink pad to make parsers propagate
downstream caps restrictions to upstream.
The pipeline "audiotestsrc num-buffers=100 ! faac ! aacparse !
"audio/mpeg, version=(int)4, stream-format=(string)adts" ! filesink"
wouldn't work because aacparse wouldn't propagate the adts restriction
upstream to faac.
This patch adds a default getcaps to the sink pad to simply proxy
downstream caps and also adds a 'get_sink_caps' function pointer
to GstBaseParseClass for subclasses that need more refined getcaps.

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.
There's no code that uses it other than multiqueue, so make it private
to multiqueue for now. That way we can also do optimisations that
require API/ABI breaks. If anyone ever wants to use it, we can still
make it public again.
Some elements (such as videorate) might push buffers early,
for instance in in transform_ip. We want events (and in particular
any NEWSEGMENT event) to be pushed before that.
This fixes transmageddon wedging on converting a file starting
with a non zero offset to Ogg.

Otherwise elements like capsfilter will return ANY caps if no
peer is present instead of the filter caps. The transform_caps()
vfunc could do transformations to the template caps that do not
result in the unmodified template caps.
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.
Wim suggested that using GstPadDirection instead of a GstPad in the
arguments to the new query vfunc would be more consistent with the other
functions.
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.
Add a vmethod to handle the pad query.
Install a default handler for the pad query.
Add a vmethod to setup the allocation properties.
Use the new query function in filesink
Implement the sink event handling like the src event handler. Make the default
implementation parse and forward the event. This makes it possible to actually
return an error value from the event handler.
Remove the requirement to have to return a ref to the input buffer when in
passthrough mode. This saves a few ref/unref cycles and fixes another 0.11
FIXME.
Make a new copy_metadata vmethod and move the code to copy the timestamps, flags
and offsets into a default implementation. This will allow us to give the
subclasses a chance to override the copy method.
Move the code for prepare_output_buffer to a default implementation. this allows
us to simplify some things and have subclasses call into the default
implementation when needed.
Remove the caps and size from the prepare_output_buffer function. with
bufferpools and capsnego done differently, we don't need this in most cases and
if we do, we can simply use the transform_size function and get the caps from
the srcpad.
Don't mix messages and pads and tags.
Make the sink post tag messages when a tag event is received.
Since tags are sticky on pads now, they can be retrieved from there
when needed.
Add an index to gst_buffer_take_memory() so that we can also insert memory at a
certain offset. This is mostly interesting to prepend a header memory block to
the buffer.
Make a new method to allocate a buffer + memory that takes the allocator and the
alignment as parameters. Provide a macro for the old method but prefer to use
the new method to encourage plugins to negotiate the allocator properly.
Add a new fill virtual method to basesrc. The purpose of this method is to fill
a provided buffer with data.
Add a default implementation of the create method that allocates a buffer and
calls the fill method on it. This would allow the base class to implement
bufferpool and allocator negotiation on behalf of the subclasses.
Fix the blocksize property.
Make filesrc use the new fill method.
Add a boolean to the flush_stop event to make it possible to implement flushes
that don't reset_time.
Make basesink post async_done with the reset_time property from the flush stop
event.
Fix some unit tests
This allows subclass to indicate that size reported by src may not be static
and should as such be updated regularly, rather than only when really
needed.
Particular examples are filesrc or fdsrc reading from a file that is still
growing (e.g. being downloaded).
Fixes#652037.
This reverts commit 934faf163c.
Original commit leads to possibly sending newsegment event downstream
in pull mode. In push mode, quite some downstream elements
are likely to only expect newsegment event following a seek they performed
and as such may have their state messed up.
Move the flag to indicate that a new_base_time should be distributed to the
pipeline, from the async_start to the async_done message. This would allow us to
decide when to reset the pipeline time based on other reasons than the
FLUSH_START event.
The main goal eventually is to make the FLUSH events not reset time at all but
reset the time based on the first buffer or segment that prerolls the pipeline
again.
Instead of passing it structure by structure. This allows
better optimized transform_caps functions and allows better
transformation decisions.
See bug #619844.
Don't error out when the allocation query returns success.
Do bufferpool query after we pushed the caps event downstream so that we can get
a good bufferpool suggestion.
Also proxy the bufferpool query downstream when we operate in in_place mode.
Avoid installing a setcaps function on the srcpad and calling the setcaps
function, we can do more efficiently with sending the event ourself and calling
our vmethod.
While some formats allow subclass to determine a specific subsequent
needed frame size, others may to need to scan for markers and can only
request 'additional data' by whatever reasonable available step.
In push mode, trying to minimize additional latency leads to step size
being the next input buffer. In pull mode, any reasonable step size
(such as already used by buffer caching) can be applied.
This reverts commit cf4fbc005c.
This change did not improve the situation for bindings because
queries are usually created, then directly passed to a function
and not stored elsewhere, and the writability problem with
miniobjects usually happens with buffers or caps instead.
Improve GstSegment, rename some fields. The idea is to have the GstSegment
structure represent the timing structure of the buffers as they are generated by
the source or demuxer element.
gst_segment_set_seek() -> gst_segment_do_seek()
Rename the NEWSEGMENT event to SEGMENT.
Make parsing of the SEGMENT event into a GstSegment structure.
Pass a GstSegment structure when making a new SEGMENT event. This allows us to
pass the timing info directly to the next element. No accumulation is needed in
the receiving element, all the info is inside the element.
Remove gst_segment_set_newsegment(): This function as used to accumulate
segments received from upstream, which is now not needed anymore because the
segment event contains the complete timing information.
Doing so avoids a large timestamp gap between first and second buffer
for live sources which take time to start up.
The first buffer now has a "live" timestamp based on the running time,
as other buffers do.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649369
Hide the GstStructure of the event in the implementation specific part so that
we can change it.
Add methods to check and make the event writable.
Add a new method to get a writable GstStructure of the element.
Avoid directly accising the event structure.
