/**
 * SECTION:gstaudioencoder
 * @title: GstAudioEncoder
 * @short_description: Base class for audio encoders
 * @see_also: #GstBaseTransform
 *
 * This base class is for audio encoders turning raw audio samples into
 * encoded audio data.
 *
 * GstAudioEncoder and subclass should cooperate as follows.
 *
 * ## Configuration
 *
 *   * Initially, GstAudioEncoder calls @start when the encoder element
 *     is activated, which allows subclass to perform any global setup.
 *
 *   * GstAudioEncoder calls @set_format to inform subclass of the format
 *     of input audio data that it is about to receive.  Subclass should
 *     setup for encoding and configure various base class parameters
 *     appropriately, notably those directing desired input data handling.
 *     While unlikely, it might be called more than once, if changing input
 *     parameters require reconfiguration.
 *
 *   * GstAudioEncoder calls @stop at end of all processing.
 *
 * As of configuration stage, and throughout processing, GstAudioEncoder
 * maintains various parameters that provide required context,
 * e.g. describing the format of input audio data.
 * Conversely, subclass can and should configure these context parameters
 * to inform base class of its expectation w.r.t. buffer handling.
 *
 * ## Data processing
 *
 *     * Base class gathers input sample data (as directed by the context's
 *       frame_samples and frame_max) and provides this to subclass' @handle_frame.
 *     * If codec processing results in encoded data, subclass should call
 *       gst_audio_encoder_finish_frame() to have encoded data pushed
 *       downstream. Alternatively, it might also call
 *       gst_audio_encoder_finish_frame() (with a NULL buffer and some number of
 *       dropped samples) to indicate dropped (non-encoded) samples.
 *     * Just prior to actually pushing a buffer downstream,
 *       it is passed to @pre_push.
 *     * During the parsing process GstAudioEncoderClass will handle both
 *       srcpad and sinkpad events. Sink events will be passed to subclass
 *       if @event callback has been provided.
 *
 * ## Shutdown phase
 *
 *   * GstAudioEncoder class calls @stop to inform the subclass that data
 *     parsing will be stopped.
 *
 * Subclass is responsible for providing pad template caps for
 * source and sink pads. The pads need to be named "sink" and "src". It also
 * needs to set the fixed caps on srcpad, when the format is ensured.  This
 * is typically when base class calls subclass' @set_format function, though
 * it might be delayed until calling @gst_audio_encoder_finish_frame.
 *
 * In summary, above process should have subclass concentrating on
 * codec data processing while leaving other matters to base class,
 * such as most notably timestamp handling.  While it may exert more control
 * in this area (see e.g. @pre_push), it is very much not recommended.
 *
 * In particular, base class will either favor tracking upstream timestamps
 * (at the possible expense of jitter) or aim to arrange for a perfect stream of
 * output timestamps, depending on #GstAudioEncoder:perfect-timestamp.
 * However, in the latter case, the input may not be so perfect or ideal, which
 * is handled as follows.  An input timestamp is compared with the expected
 * timestamp as dictated by input sample stream and if the deviation is less
 * than #GstAudioEncoder:tolerance, the deviation is discarded.
 * Otherwise, it is considered a discontuinity and subsequent output timestamp
 * is resynced to the new position after performing configured discontinuity
 * processing.  In the non-perfect-timestamp case, an upstream variation
 * exceeding tolerance only leads to marking DISCONT on subsequent outgoing
 * (while timestamps are adjusted to upstream regardless of variation).
 * While DISCONT is also marked in the perfect-timestamp case, this one
 * optionally (see #GstAudioEncoder:hard-resync)
 * performs some additional steps, such as clipping of (early) input samples
 * or draining all currently remaining input data, depending on the direction
 * of the discontuinity.
 *
 * If perfect timestamps are arranged, it is also possible to request baseclass
 * (usually set by subclass) to provide additional buffer metadata (in OFFSET
 * and OFFSET_END) fields according to granule defined semantics currently
 * needed by oggmux.  Specifically, OFFSET is set to granulepos (= sample count
 * including buffer) and OFFSET_END to corresponding timestamp (as determined
 * by same sample count and sample rate).
 *
 * Things that subclass need to take care of:
 *
 *   * Provide pad templates
 *   * Set source pad caps when appropriate
 *   * Inform base class of buffer processing needs using context's
 *      frame_samples and frame_bytes.
 *   * Set user-configurable properties to sane defaults for format and
 *      implementing codec at hand, e.g. those controlling timestamp behaviour
 *      and discontinuity processing.
 *   * Accept data in @handle_frame and provide encoded results to
 *      gst_audio_encoder_finish_frame().
