* This element reorders and removes duplicate RTP packets as they are received
* from a network source. It will also wait for missing packets up to a
* configurable time limit using the #GstRtpJitterBuffer:latency property.
* Packets arriving too late are considered to be lost packets.

* from a network source.
*
* The element needs the clock-rate of the RTP payload in order to estimate the
* delay. This information is obtained either from the caps on the sink pad or,
* when no caps are present, from the #GstRtpJitterBuffer::request-pt-map signal.
* To clear the previous pt-map use the #GstRtpJitterBuffer::clear-pt-map signal.
*
* The rtpjitterbuffer will wait for missing packets up to a configurable time
* limit using the #GstRtpJitterBuffer:latency property. Packets arriving too
* late are considered to be lost packets. If the #GstRtpJitterBuffer:do-lost
* property is set, lost packets will result in a custom serialized downstream
* event of name GstRTPPacketLost. The lost packet events are usually used by a
* depayloader or other element to create concealment data or some other logic
* to gracefully handle the missing packets.
*
* The jitterbuffer will use the DTS (or PTS if no DTS is set) of the incomming
* buffer and the rtptime inside the RTP packet to create a PTS on the outgoing
* buffer.
*
* The jitterbuffer can also be configured to send early retransmission events
* upstream by setting the #GstRtpJitterBuffer:do-retransmission property. In
* this mode, the jitterbuffer tries to estimate when a packet should arrive and
* sends a custom upstream event named GstRTPRetransmissionRequest when the
* packet is considered late. The initial expected packet arrival time is
* calculated as follows:
*
* - If seqnum N arrived at time T, seqnum N+1 is expected to arrive at
* T + packet-spacing + #GstRtpJitterBuffer:rtx-delay. The packet spacing is
* calculated from the DTS (or PTS is no DTS) of two consecutive RTP
* packets with different rtptime.
*
* - If seqnum N0 arrived at time T0 and seqnum Nm arrived at time Tm,
* seqnum Ni is expected at time Ti = T0 + i*(Tm - T0)/(Nm - N0). Any
* previously scheduled timeout is overwritten.
*
* - If seqnum N arrived, all seqnum older than
* N - #GstRtpJitterBuffer:rtx-delay-reorder are considered late
* immediately. This is to request fast feedback for abonormally reorder
* packets before any of the previous timeouts is triggered.
*
* A late packet triggers the GstRTPRetransmissionRequest custom upstream
* event. After the initial timeout expires and the retransmission event is
* sent, the timeout is scheduled for
* T + #GstRtpJitterBuffer:rtx-retry-timeout. If the missing packet did not
* arrive after #GstRtpJitterBuffer:rtx-retry-timeout, a new
* GstRTPRetransmissionRequest is sent upstream and the timeout is rescheduled
* again for T + #GstRtpJitterBuffer:rtx-retry-timeout. This repeats until
* #GstRtpJitterBuffer:rtx-retry-period elapsed, at which point no further
* retransmission requests are sent and the regular logic is performed to
* schedule a lost packet as discussed above.
*
* This element acts as a live element and so adds #GstRtpJitterBuffer:latency
* to the pipeline.
*
* This element will automatically be used inside rtpbin.
