According to the documentation this should never happen but apparently
does under certain circumstances. As the sockets are set non-blocking,
trying to read from them regardless should not cause any problems.
In all cases that were observed so far, the socket in question actually
has a packet queued up for reading.

While this doesn't yet use any OS provided times from the actual network
stack, this still gets rid of any IPC jitter between the helper process
and the main process as part of the PTP time calculations and should
improve accuracy.

ptpd is defaulting to the hybrid mode, and was sending invalid multicast
PTP messages in that configuration until ce96c742a88792a8d92deebaf03927e1b367f4a9.
While this commit was made in 2015 there was no release in the meantime.
Work around this by detecting this case and defaulting to the default
values for the given intervals as given by the PTP standard.

The generated gir file marks the size parameter as "out" by default.
This is wrong in the context of a caller allocated buffer with a given size.
Explicitly marking the size parameter as (in) fixes the issue.

This works on Linux, Android, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
DragonFlyBSD, Solaris and Illumos.
Newly supported compared to the C version is Windows.
Compared to the C version various error paths are handled more correctly
and a couple of memory leaks are fixed. Otherwise it should work identically.
The minimum required Rust version for compiling this is 1.48, i.e. the
version currently in Debian stable. On Windows, Rust 1.54 is needed at
least.

gst_base_src_new_segment() does not send the segment right away, which
may break events ordering if subclass sends other events after
calling it.
Introducing a variant pushing the segment right away to preserve
ordering in such cases.
Will be used by appsrc which has its own internal queue where we need to
preserve events order.

A flush is resetting or not depending on the reset_time argument in the
FLUSH_STOP event is set.
Resetting flushes reset the running time to zero and clear any existing
segment. These are the kind of flushes used by flushing seeks, and by far the
most common. Non-resetting flushes are much more niche, used for instance for
quality changes in adaptivedemux2 and MediaSource Extensions in WebKit.
A key difference between the seek use case and the quality change use case is
that the latter is much more removed from the player. Seeks generally occur
because an user request it, whereas quality changes can be automatic.
Currently, there are three notable cases where position queries fail:
(a) before pre-roll, as there is no segment yet. This is one is understandable,
as for at least some time before pre-roll, we cannot know if a media stream
would start at 0 or any other position, or the duration of the stream for that
matter.
(b) after a resetting flush caused by a seek. This kind of flush resets the
segment, so it's not surprising position queries fail. This is inconvenient for
applications, as it means they always need to handle position reporting (e.g.
in UI) separately every time they request a seek, e.g. by caching the seek
target and using it when the position query fail. I'm not fond of this
behavior, as it's unintuitive and makes GStreamer harder to use, but at this
point could be difficult to change and it's not within the scope of this
proposal.
(c) after a non-resetting flush, e.g. caused by a quality change. The segment
is not reset in this case. Position queries work until a FLUSH_STOP is sent.
Querying position after a FLUSH_START but before a FLUSH_STOP works, and
returns the position the sink was at the moment the FLUSH_START was received.
**This in fact the only reliable way (short of adding probes to the sink
element) to get this position**, as FLUSH_START receival is asynchronous with
playback.
In the case (c), as of currently, position queries fail once the FLUSH_STOP is
received. But unlike in (b), the application has no position to fall back to,
as the FLUSH_START was initiated by elements inside the pipeline that are in a
lower layer of abstraction. Specific applications that have control of both the
player and the internal element doing the flushing -- such as WebKit -- can
still work around this problem through layer violations (lucky!), but this
still puts in question this behavior in GStreamer.
This patch fixes this case by amending the position query handler of basesink,
which was previously erroneously returning early with "wrong state", even
though the flush occurs in PAUSED or PLAYING.
A unit test checking this behavior has also been added.

The previous implementation was a bit primitive, assuming the subclass
had registered a template name starting with sink_ . Instead make
the effort of parsing the actual template name, and use that to generate
the final pad name.

Pads are activated automatically when they are added if the element
state is >=PAUSED, so it's not necessary to activate them manually
anymore.
This patch removes manual pad activation from gstaggregator, gstconcat,
gstfunnel, and gstinputselector.

Setting force_live lets aggregator behave as if it had at least one of
its sinks connected to a live source, which should let us get rid of the
fake live test source hack that is probably present in dozens of
applications by now.
+ Expose API for subclasses to set and get force_live
+ Expose force-live properties in GstVideoAggregator and GstAudioAggregator
+ Adds a simple test

Introduce a new API that can return a GstTypeFind * with helper functions
and data set around buffer data.
While at it, drop factory field from GstTypeFindBufHelper. While it was
useful for logging, it was not passed through function arguments and keeping
it for logging would require an additional API increasing the API surface
and making it harder to use.
