/**
 * SECTION:element-latencytracer
 * @short_description: log processing latency stats
 *
 * A tracing module that determines src-to-sink latencies by injecting custom
 * events at sources and process them at sinks. This elements supports tracing
 * the entire pipeline latency and per element latency. By default, only
 * pipeline latency is traced. The 'flags' parameter can be used to enabled
 * element tracing.
 *
 * ```
 * GST_TRACERS="latency(flags=pipeline+element)" GST_DEBUG=GST_TRACER:7 ./...
 * ```
 */
/* TODO(ensonic): if there are two sources feeding into a mixer/muxer and later
 * we fan-out with tee and have two sinks, each sink would get all two events,
 * the later event would overwrite the former. Unfortunately when the buffer
 * arrives on the sink we don't know to which event it correlates. Better would
 * be to use the buffer meta in 1.0 instead of the event. Or we track a min/max
 * latency.
