/**
 * SECTION:element-level
 * @title: level
 *
 * Level analyses incoming audio buffers and, if the #GstLevel:message property
 * is %TRUE, generates an element message named
 * `level`: after each interval of time given by the #GstLevel:interval property.
 * The message's structure contains these fields:
 *
 * * #GstClockTime `timestamp`: the timestamp of the buffer that triggered the message.
 * * #GstClockTime `stream-time`: the stream time of the buffer.
 * * #GstClockTime `running-time`: the running_time of the buffer.
 * * #GstClockTime `duration`: the duration of the buffer.
 * * #GstClockTime `endtime`: the end time of the buffer that triggered the message as
 *   stream time (this is deprecated, as it can be calculated from stream-time + duration)
 * * #GValueArray of #gdouble `peak`: the peak power level in dB for each channel
 * * #GValueArray of #gdouble `decay`: the decaying peak power level in dB for each channel
 *   The decaying peak level follows the peak level, but starts dropping if no
 *   new peak is reached after the time given by the #GstLevel:peak-ttl.
 *   When the decaying peak level drops, it does so at the decay rate as
 *   specified by the #GstLevel:peak-falloff.
 * * #GValueArray of #gdouble `rms`: the Root Mean Square (or average power) level in dB
 *   for each channel
 *
 * ## Example application
 *
 * {{ tests/examples/level/level-example.c }}
 *
