    GstElement: Add a more flexible way to get request pads. · 04ebbc9f
    Edward Hervey authored
    The new request_new_pad_full vmethod provides an additional caps field,
    which allows elements to take better decision process.
    
    Also, add a gst_element_request_pad() function to allow developers to be
    able to specify which pad template they want a pad of.
    
    Convert gstutils to use that new method instead of the old one when more
    efficient.
    
    This is useful for being able to request pads in a more flexible way,
    especially when the element can provide pads whose caps depend on
    runtime configuration and therefore can't provide pre-registered
    pad templates.
    
    API: GstElement::request_new_pad_full
    API: gst_element_request_pad
