[Bug 791858] GstTocSetter: proposal to help standardize elements behaviour

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791858

--- Comment #7 from Sebastian Dröge (slomo) <slomo at coaxion.net> ---
>From your comment it seems like there is some uncertainty about how the
interface should work and how it's implemented in various elements, and we
should definitely clear that up somehow. And make the implementations
consistent.
Also your use-case sounds perfectly normal, so we should find a way for doing
that with the current interface.


AFAIU the TOC event should only contain the TOC that applies to the following
stream itself, so in Tim's example if you play one track of a DVD then you have
the whole DVD in the global TOC message but only the chapters of the current
track in the TOC event.

Nonetheless it seems like there needs to be a way to override/merge/etc the
TOCs from events in TOC setter elements, similar to what you suggested before.
Otherwise your use-case would not work.

What am I missing?
