In Google webrtc, the setting VP8E_SET_STATIC_THRESHOLD is set to 1
(except when the content is known to be static very often in which
case it is set to 100, i.e. when sharing screen with Google Hangouts).
The cpu usage drops a lot when using 1 for above setting because it
allows the encoder to skip static/low content blocks. The current
0 default value uses too much cpu and confuses the user regarding
the cpu usage expectations. User expects vp8enc to use low cpu by
default.

ffmpeg is doing the same and various files in the wild have bogus
information in the sample description if the same information is also
duplicated afterwards in the v1/v2 sound sample desription.
Previously we only did this for non-raw audio due to
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374914
but this specific file is already worked around differently. It still
works after this change.
Also remove ad-hoc GST_READ_DOUBLE_BE re-implementation and move the
switch for legacy audio formats after reading all the sample
descriptions as we want to override the values from there.
By default imagefreeze will still reject new buffers after the first one
and immediately return GST_FLOW_EOS but the new allow-replace property
allows to change this.
Whenever updating the buffer we now also keep track of the configured
caps of the buffer and from the source pad task negotiate correctly
based on the potentially updated caps.
Only the very first time negotiation of a framerate with downstream is
performed, afterwards only the caps themselves apart from the framerate
are updated.
Elements emitting frames through several srcpads should use a
flow combiner to aggregate the chain returns and therefore only return
GST_FLOW_NOT_LINKED to upstream when all the downstream pads have
received GST_FLOW_NOT_LINKED.
In addition to that, in order to handle pads being relinked downstream,
the flow combiner should be reset in response to RECONFIGURE events.
This ensures that a both srcpads process a chain operation before a
GST_FLOW_NOT_LINKED can be propagated upstream (which would usually stop
the pipeline).
Otherwise, in a configuration with two srcpads, only one linked at a
time, after the relink the element could chain data through the now
unlinked pad and the flow combiner would resolve as GST_FLOW_NOT_LINKED
(stopping the pipeline) just because the now linked pad has not been
chained yet to update the flow combiner.
This patch adds handling of RECONFIGURE events to qtdemux. Also, since
this event handling causes the flow combiner to be used from a thread
other than the qtdemux streaming thread, usages of the flow combiner
has been guarded by the object lock.
The key is to make sure the jitterbuffer is set to NULL *before* the
ptdemux.
The race that existed would basically happen when ptdemux had reached
READY, and the jitterbuffer would then push a buffer, triggering a new
pad with a new payloadtype being added and ghosted to the rtpbin itself.
However, the srcpad of the ptdemux would now be inactive, and all the
sticky-event pushed on it would be swallowed, not allowing any to reach
the ghost-pad. Then the buffer in-flight would come to the ghostpad,
and we would assert that a buffer arrived before the necessary
events.
By simply re-ordering the state-changes, we ensure that there will be
no buffer racing into the ptdemux while its state is being changed,
and the problem disappears completely.
Notice also that there is not point in disconnecting the signals on the
ptdemux before this point, since we need the push-thread to settle
down before we can do this in a non-racy way.
Applications might handle locations and generally configuration of the
sink by themselves instead of having splitmuxsink set the location on
the sink. Nonetheless it makes sense to increment the fragment_id that
is passed to the signal so that applications know which fragment is
requested.
If Mesa is built without X11 headers, building against Mesa EGL headers
requires a dependency on egl.pc, to define MESA_EGL_NO_X11_HEADERS.
This fixes a build error when compiling ext/qt/gstqtglutility.cc:

Add parsed=true to output caps, as we always output
whole frames, timestamped and all. Means also that
the output can be decoded by avdec_mjpeg wihout
plugging an extra parser (which has no rank).
This was never installed and it was only used by the uninstalled
autotools dev environment to locate the -good plugins for use
in unit tests in gstreamer modules higher up the stack.
It is no longer needed now that we no longer have an autotools build.
Add a property that makes it possible for an application to set the
DateUTC header field in matroska files. This is useful for live feeds,
where the DateUTC header can be set to a UTC timestamp, matching the
beginning of the file.

Before we do streamon, we queue all capture buffers by calling
resurrect. When the driver supports CREATE_BUFS, this would lead
to buffers being allocated till the maximum of 32 is reached.
Instead, we now save the number of allocated buffers and queue this
amount.
libv4l2 reset the colorpace to 0 and does not do any request to the
driver. This yields an invalid colorspace which currently cause a
negotiation failure. This workaround by ignoring bad values during the
TRY_FMT step.
An application might try to access splitmuxsink from sync message handler
by g_object_{get,set} which takes lock also. In general, we don't
take lock around message handler.
