This is the native format that is in use by the webrtc audio processing
library internally, so this avoids internal {de,}interleaving and
format conversion (S16->F32 and back)

This DSP library can be used to enhance voice signal for real time
communication call. In implements multiple filters like noise reduction,
high pass filter, echo cancellation, automatic gain control, etc.
The webrtcdsp element can be used along, or with the help of the
webrtcechoprobe if echo cancellation is enabled. The echo probe should
be placed as close as possible to the audio sink, while the DSP is
generally place close to the audio capture. For local testing, one can
use an echo loop pipeline like the following:
autoaudiosrc ! webrtcdsp ! webrtcechoprobe ! autoaudiosink
This pipeline should produce a single echo rather then repeated echo.
Those elements works if they are placed in the same top level pipeline.
