/**
 * SECTION:element-nleoperation
 *
 * A NleOperation performs a transformation or mixing operation on the
 * data from one or more #NleSources, which is used to implement filters or
 * effects.
 *
 * ## Time Effects
 *
 * An #nleoperation that wraps a #GstElement that transforms seek and
 * segment times is considered a time effect. Nle only tries to support
 * time effect's whose overall seek transformation:
 *
 * + Maps the time `0` to `0`. So initial time-shifting effects are
 *   excluded (the #NleObject:inpoint can sometimes be used instead).
 * + Is monotonically increasing. So reversing effects, and effects that
 *   jump backwards in the stream are excluded.
 * + Can handle a reasonable #GstClockTime, relative to the project. So
 *   this would exclude a time effect with an extremely large speed-up
 *   that would cause the converted #GstClockTime seeks to overflow.
 * + Is 'continuously reversible'. This essentially means that for every
 *   seek position found on the sink pad of the element, we can, to 'good
 *   enough' accuracy, calculate the corresponding seek position that was
 *   received on the source pad. Moreover, this calculation should
 *   correspond to how the element transforms its #GstSegment
 *   @time field. This is needed so that a seek can result in an accurate
 *   segment.
 *
 * Note that a constant-rate-change effect that is not extremely fast or
 * slow would satisfy these conditions.
 *
 * For such a time effect, they should be configured in nle such that:
 *
 * + Their #NleObject:inpoint is `0`. Otherwise this will introduce
 *   seeking problems in its #nlecomposition.
 * + They must share the same #NleObject:start and
 *   #NleObject:duration as all nleobjects of lower priority in its
 *   #nlecomposition. Otherwise this will introduce jumps in playback.
 *
 * Note that, at the moment, nle only converts the #GstSegment
 * @time field which means the other fields, such as @start and @stop, can
 * end up with non-meaningful values when time effects are involved.
 * Moreover, it does not convert #GstBuffer times either, which can result
 * in them having non-meaningful values. In particular, this means that
 * #GstControlBinding-s will not work well with #nlecomposition-s when
 * they include time effects.
