Base Video Classes TODO Main goal: Make the video encoder/decoder base classes more consistent with the other GStreamer API, especially with the audio encoder/decoder base classes. API: The API should be named similar, the base classes should be used similar by the sub-classes, the behaviour of the base classes should be similar. Currently there are many, mostly small, differences between the audio and video base classes API. Things like GstVideoState should be merged with the stuff we have in 0.11 to make the API the same in 0.11 and 0.10 as far as possible, things like GstVideoInfo might make sense to be backported (at least partially). Specifics: * Use a GInstancePrivate for extensibility. * Try to move more common video objects to video.[ch] Known bugs: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664127 [basevideodecoder] Add separate drain vfunc and differentiate between hard/soft reset in reset vfunc https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660770 Doesn't support handling of "partial" frames https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654294 Impossible to flush pending frames in ::set_format https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658241 add API to handle QoS events and dropping logic https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667653 Autodetect multicore/multithread processors https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617021 Add support for QoS messages to -bad decoders and other elements Peripheral issues https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663262 theoraenc: spurious encoder resets due to unstable upstream timestamps cause quality issues => Investigate how to specify/handle variable framerates.
