Wim Taymans 66d7070ef1 Some docs updates
Original commit message from CVS:
* CHANGES-0.9:
* docs/design/part-TODO.txt:
* docs/design/part-events.txt:
Some docs updates

* gst/base/gstbasesink.c: (gst_base_sink_handle_object),
(gst_base_sink_event), (gst_base_sink_do_sync),
(gst_base_sink_activate_push), (gst_base_sink_activate_pull):
* gst/base/gstbasesrc.c: (gst_base_src_send_discont),
(gst_base_src_do_seek), (gst_base_src_event_handler),
(gst_base_src_loop):
* gst/base/gstbasetransform.c: (gst_base_transform_transform_caps),
(gst_base_transform_configure_caps), (gst_base_transform_setcaps),
(gst_base_transform_get_size), (gst_base_transform_buffer_alloc),
(gst_base_transform_event), (gst_base_transform_handle_buffer),
(gst_base_transform_set_passthrough),
(gst_base_transform_is_passthrough):
* gst/elements/gstfakesink.c: (gst_fake_sink_event):
* gst/elements/gstfilesink.c: (gst_file_sink_event):
Event updates.

* gst/gstbuffer.h:
Use faster casts.

* gst/gstelement.c: (gst_element_seek):
* gst/gstelement.h:
Update gst_element_seek.

* gst/gstevent.c: (gst_event_finalize), (_gst_event_copy),
(gst_event_new), (gst_event_new_custom), (gst_event_get_structure),
(gst_event_new_flush_start), (gst_event_new_flush_stop),
(gst_event_new_eos), (gst_event_new_newsegment),
(gst_event_parse_newsegment), (gst_event_new_tag),
(gst_event_parse_tag), (gst_event_new_filler), (gst_event_new_qos),
(gst_event_parse_qos), (gst_event_new_seek),
(gst_event_parse_seek), (gst_event_new_navigation):
* gst/gstevent.h:
Make GstEvent use GstStructure. Add parsing code, make sure the
API is sufficiently generic.
Mark possible directions of events and serialization.

* gst/gstmessage.c: (gst_message_init), (gst_message_finalize),
(_gst_message_copy), (gst_message_new_segment_start),

Update for new events.
Catch events sent in wrong directions.

Remove event code from this file.

* libs/gst/dataprotocol/dataprotocol.c: (gst_dp_packet_from_event),
(gst_dp_event_from_packet):
Event updates.

- changing an object's name after construction is not allowed. Checks are performed
when adding objects to parents that no duplicate names are used, changing the name
to a duplicate name after adding it is therefore allowed and voids internal
consistency.
- implement return values from events in addition to the gboolean. This should be
done by making the event contain a GstStructure with input/output values, similar
to GstMessage.
- implement iterators for traversing elements upstream or dowstream. Use more simple
algorithm using indegree topological sort.
- unlinking pads in the PAUSED state needs to make sure the stream thread is not
executing code. Can this be done with a flush to unlock all downstream chain
functions?
- implement clock selection as explained in part-gstpipeline.txt
- when a pipeline with a live source goes to PAUSED again, a sample is prerolled
in the sinks. This sample should be discarded, possibly with a flush event
started from the source.
