1804035 - mach blocks when using --use-test-media-devices with gstreamer 1.0

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

Description

[Andreas Pehrson [:pehrsons]]

Behavior has changed from gst-launch-0.1 and gst-launch-0.10 to gst-launch-1.0 where the former two launch gstreamer in a separate process and return, and the latter runs gstreamer directly, therefore blocking the runtests.py script.

Attachment: Bug 1804035 - Make runtests.py set up so it works with gst-launch-1.0. r?padenot!, r?ahal!

gst-launch-1.0 appears to be blocking while the pipeline is running, and this
is different from previous versions. This patch makes us spin up a separate
process for gst-launch before starting tests, and makes sure it is killed
as the mochitest runner shuts down.
