* configure.ac:
Improve mpeg2enc detection. This is for distributions that do
ship mjpegtools, but without mpeg2enc. Also does object check
for might there ever be ABI incompatibility.
* ext/mpeg2enc/gstmpeg2enc.cc:
Add Andrew as second maintainer (he's helping me), and also add
an error if no caps was set. This happens if I pull before capsnego
and that's something I should solve sometime else.
* gst/matroska/matroska-demux.c:
(gst_matroska_demux_parse_blockgroup):
Fix time parsing.
* gst/matroska/matroska-mux.c: (gst_matroska_mux_audio_pad_link),
(gst_matroska_mux_track_header):
Add caps to templates.
* gst/mpegaudioparse/gstmpegaudioparse.c: (mp3_sink_factory):
Add mpegversion=1 to prevent confusion with MPEG/AAC.
* gst/mpegstream/gstmpegdemux.c:
Remove layer since it causes warnings about unfixed caps.
* gst/videotestsrc/gstvideotestsrc.c: (gst_videotestsrc_get):
Fix obvious typo (we error out if caps were set, we should of
course error out if *no* caps were set).
* sys/oss/gstosselement.c: (gst_osselement_convert):
Fix format conversion, we confused bits/bytes.
* sys/oss/gstosselement.h:
Improve documentation for 'bps'.
* sys/v4l/TODO:
Remove stuff about plugins that need removing - this was done
ages ago.
* sys/v4l/gstv4lmjpegsrc.c: (gst_v4lmjpegsrc_init),
(gst_v4lmjpegsrc_src_convert), (gst_v4lmjpegsrc_src_query):
* sys/v4l/gstv4lsrc.c: (gst_v4lsrc_init), (gst_v4lsrc_src_convert),
(gst_v4lsrc_src_query):
* sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.c: (gst_v4l2src_init),
(gst_v4l2src_src_convert), (gst_v4l2src_src_query):
Add get_query_types(), get_formats() and query() functions.

TODO list (short term):
=======================
* v4lsrc/v4lmjpegsrc/v4l2src: fix interlacing (not handled at all...)
* fix v4l*src ! spider ! colorspace ! xvideosink
- first sets to PLAYING, then (re-)triggers capsnego - that breaks
TODO list (long term):
======================
* v4lmpegsrc (*hint* MPEG card needed *hint*)
* v4l2sink
* BSD-videosrc (bktr)
* color correction (brightness, hue, etc.)
* gamma correction
Useful Documentation:
=====================
MJPEG/V4L API : ./videodev_mjpeg.h
Linux/V4L API : /usr/include/linux/videodev.h or
http://roadrunner.swansea.uk.linux.org/v4l.shtml
Linux/V4L2 API: /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h or
http://www.thedirks.org/v4l2/
(kernel patches: http://bytesex.org/patches/)
BSD/Meteor API: /usr/include/machine/ioctl_meteor.h

Capturing:
==========
* sound is the master clock
* it's probably a good idea to create an audiosource element:
- autodetect alsa/oss
- first try alsa, then oss... they work the same internally
* same for videosource:
- autodetect v4l/v4l2 + mjpeg capabilities
- for this, just open device using v4l2element. On success:
+ use v4l2
- on failure:
+ use v4lelement and query for MJPEG capabilities
+ if that's available, combine caps of v4lmjpegsrc and v4lsrc
* both sources run in their own GstThread with a high priority
* an encoder element takes care of encoding + muxing. A toplevel element
(reverse of spider) is probably a good idea here. How? Don't know...
* format negotiation via filtered caps
* statistics via listening to the frame_{lost,inserted,deleted,captures}
signals and GST_PAD_QUERY_POSITION (gst_pad_query())
