Original commit message from CVS:
* ext/gio/gstgiobasesrc.c: (gst_gio_base_src_finalize),
(gst_gio_base_src_create):
* ext/gio/gstgiobasesrc.h:
Try to read the requested number of bytes, even if the first
read returns less than requested, until nothing is read anymore
or we have the requested amount of bytes. This fixes playback of
files via Samba as Samba only allows to read 64k at once.
Implement a caching algorithm that makes sure that we read at
least 4k of data every time. Some elements will try to read a few
bytes, then seek, read again a few bytes and so on and this is
painfully slow as every operation has to go over DBus if GVfs is
used as backend.
Fixes bug #536849 and #536848.
* ext/gio/gstgiosrc.c: (gst_gio_src_class_init),
(gst_gio_src_check_get_range):
Override check_get_range() to blacklist http/https URIs
and whitelist file URIs. More to be added on demand.
