feat(moq-gst): publish opaque application data tracks - #2996
Conversation
moqsink only published codecs, leaving binary products that accompany the media (audio levels, signal quality, identification) with no pad. A pad negotiated as `application/octet-stream` now publishes them byte for byte: no codec, no container, no interpretation. Each buffer becomes one group holding one frame, stamped with the PTS mapped through the pad's TIME segment, so the data shares the timeline of the media it accompanies. The pad requires its `track` name and stays out of the catalog. A buffer with no segment or no PTS is dropped, never stamped with a substitute. CONTEXT Discarded paths: - Declaring the track in the catalog. MSF makes `packaging` mandatory per track and defines none for raw bytes; the closest, `eventtimeline`, drags `eventType` and its structure along. Mechanically it is also wrong: a catalog reservation holds back the broadcast's initial snapshot until it resolves, and an opaque track never resolves a rendition. - `Timestamp::now` for a buffer with no PTS. It mixes epochs in one broadcast, media in running time and data in wall clock, landing the data track far ahead of the media anchor. LOC reads a timestamp with no timescale as UTC, but `track::Info` is always timed, so that reading is not representable here anyway. - A `timestamp-mode` property. YAGNI while the correct behaviour is the only one, and `pts|arrival` would leave a signalling hole: nothing on the wire tells a receiver it must re-stamp. - `hang::container::track_info()`. Its 30s retention is declared for media, which a segmented egress reads as history; data is followed at the live edge. It would retain six times the groups of the equivalent `moq-ffi` track, one per opaque buffer. - Accepting any `application/*`. One explicit type keeps the negotiated surface small, and if MSF ever defines packaging for raw bytes the caps media type maps straight onto `mimeType`. Key decisions: - The opaque branch returns before the codec match instead of joining it: that match yields an `import::Track`, and a raw producer is a different type, so an arm would have re-typed all seven. - No `unique_name` fallback. Nothing advertises the track, so a generated name publishes bytes no consumer can ask for; the pad is invalidated instead, leaving the session and the other pads running. - `track::Producer::write_frame` rather than driving groups by hand: it already creates one group with one frame at a given timestamp, which is exactly the contract. - Dropping a PTS-less buffer needed no new code, the running-time mapping already errors on a missing timestamp.

- Around line 270-274: Update the assertion in the opaque-pad reservation test
to verify the effective broadcast track rather than the requested track
property, whose fallback can return the requested value without reservation.
Assert the observable broadcast track or inspect state through an API that
bypasses the requested-value fallback, while preserving the existing expected
value of audiolevels.

Summary
application/octet-streamsink pads that publish each GStreamer buffer byte for byte as one MoQ group containing one frame.sink_%u::trackname and keep opaque tracks out of the media catalog, which has no valid raw-byte packaging.track::Producer::write_framepayloads before appending a group. Previously the helper exposed an unfinished empty group before returningFrameTooLarge, which could leave subscribers waiting indefinitely.A TIME segment is still required. Non-TIME segments cannot map a supplied PTS and are reported once on the bus. Opaque tracks retain the
moq-netdefault because they are followed at the live edge.Public API changes
None. No Rust
pubitem was added, removed, renamed, or signature-changed. The new surface is the negotiated GStreamer caps type and the existingtrackpad property.Test plan
