/**
 * SECTION:element-multiqueue
 * @title: multiqueue
 * @see_also: #GstQueue
 *
 * Multiqueue is similar to a normal #GstQueue with the following additional
 * features:
 *
 * 1) Multiple streamhandling
 *
 *  * The element handles queueing data on more than one stream at once. To
 * achieve such a feature it has request sink pads (sink%u) and
 * 'sometimes' src pads (src%u). When requesting a given sinkpad with gst_element_request_pad(),
 * the associated srcpad for that stream will be created.
 * Example: requesting sink1 will generate src1.
 *
 * 2) Non-starvation on multiple stream
 *
 * * If more than one stream is used with the element, the streams' queues
 * will be dynamically grown (up to a limit), in order to ensure that no
 * stream is risking data starvation. This guarantees that at any given
 * time there are at least N bytes queued and available for each individual
 * stream. If an EOS event comes through a srcpad, the associated queue will be
 * considered as 'not-empty' in the queue-size-growing algorithm.
 *
 * 3) Non-linked srcpads graceful handling
 *
 * * In order to better support dynamic switching between streams, the multiqueue
 * (unlike the current GStreamer queue) continues to push buffers on non-linked
 * pads rather than shutting down. In addition, to prevent a non-linked stream from very quickly consuming all
 * available buffers and thus 'racing ahead' of the other streams, the element
 * must ensure that buffers and inlined events for a non-linked stream are pushed
 * in the same order as they were received, relative to the other streams
 * controlled by the element. This means that a buffer cannot be pushed to a
 * non-linked pad any sooner than buffers in any other stream which were received
 * before it.
 *
 * Data is queued until one of the limits specified by the
 * #GstMultiQueue:max-size-buffers, #GstMultiQueue:max-size-bytes and/or
 * #GstMultiQueue:max-size-time properties has been reached. Any attempt to push
 * more buffers into the queue will block the pushing thread until more space
 * becomes available. #GstMultiQueue:extra-size-buffers,
 *
 *
 * #GstMultiQueue:extra-size-bytes and #GstMultiQueue:extra-size-time are
 * currently unused.
 *
 * The default queue size limits are 5 buffers, 10MB of data, or
 * two second worth of data, whichever is reached first. Note that the number
 * of buffers will dynamically grow depending on the fill level of
 * other queues.
 *
 * The #GstMultiQueue::underrun signal is emitted when all of the queues
 * are empty. The #GstMultiQueue::overrun signal is emitted when one of the
 * queues is filled.
 * Both signals are emitted from the context of the streaming thread.
 *
 * When using #GstMultiQueue:sync-by-running-time the unlinked streams will
 * be throttled by the highest running-time of linked streams. This allows
 * further relinking of those unlinked streams without them being in the
 * future (i.e. to achieve gapless playback).
 * When dealing with streams which have got different consumption requirements
 * downstream (ex: video decoders which will consume more buffer (in time) than
 * audio decoders), it is recommended to group streams of the same type
 * by using the pad "group-id" property. This will further throttle streams
 * in time within that group.

 *
 * This is not to be confused with the buffering_percent value, which is
 * a *relative* quantity - relative to the low/high watermarks.
 * buffering_percent = 0% means overall buffering_level is at the low watermark.
 * buffering_percent = 100% means overall buffering_level is at the high watermark.
 * buffering_percent is used for determining if the fill level has reached
 * the high watermark, and for producing BUFFERING messages. This value
 * always uses a 0..100 range (since it is a percentage).
 *
 * To avoid future confusions, whenever "buffering level" is mentioned, it
 * refers to the absolute level which is in the 0..MAX_BUFFERING_LEVEL
 * range. Whenever "buffering_percent" is mentioned, it refers to the
 * percentage value that is relative to the low/high watermark. */
