/**
 * SECTION:element-level
 *
 * Level analyses incoming audio buffers and, if the #GstLevel:message property
 * is #TRUE, generates an element message named
 * <classname>&quot;level&quot;</classname>:
 * after each interval of time given by the #GstLevel:interval property.
 * The message's structure contains these fields:
 * <itemizedlist>
 * <listitem>
 *   <para>
 *   #GstClockTime
 *   <classname>&quot;timestamp&quot;</classname>:
 *   the timestamp of the buffer that triggered the message.

 * <listitem>
 *   <para>
 *   #GstClockTime
 *   <classname>&quot;stream-time&quot;</classname>:

 * </listitem>
 * <listitem>
 *   <para>
 *   #GstClockTime
 *   <classname>&quot;running-time&quot;</classname>:
