We need GStreamer elements to do the bandwidth estimation as this way
they can also control the pacing of the transmission flow as specified
in the [GCC] algorithm for example.
Bandwidth estimator element are placed right before the "RTPSession" as
an "rtp-aux-sender" element. This way they can use the "Transport-wide
Congestion Control" RTCP feedback messages through the "RTPTwcc" custom
events that are sent by the rtpsession.
Applications are responsible to react to the bandwidth estimator element
and set the encoder target bitrate etc... which means that we can not
pass an estimator as an element factory, so a signal as been chosen
instead.
