For negative rates, B.timestamp will go backwards from NS.stop to NS.start,
making the stream time go backwards.
In the PLAYING state, it is also possible to use the pipeline clock to derive
the current stream_time.
Give the two formulas above to match the clock times with buffer timestamps
allows us to rewrite the above formula for stream_time (and for positive rates).
C.running_time = absolute_time - base_time
B.running_time = (B.timestamp - NS.start) / NS.abs_rate + NS.accum
=>
absolute_time - base_time = (B.timestamp - NS.start) / NS.abs_rate + NS.accum
=>
absolute_time - base_time = (B.timestamp - NS.start) / NS.abs_rate + NS.accum
=>
(B.timestamp - NS.start) = (absolute_time - base_time - NS.accum) * NS.abs_rate
=>
stream_time = (absolute_time - base_time - NS.accum) * NS.abs_rate * NS.abs_applied_rate + NS.time
This last formula is typically used in sinks to report the current position in
an accurate and efficient way.
Note that the stream time is never used for synchronisation against the clock.
