/**
 * SECTION:element-audiolatency
 * @title: audiolatency
 *
 * Measures the audio latency between the source pad and the sink pad by
 * outputting period ticks on the source pad and measuring how long they take to
 * arrive on the sink pad.
 *
 * The ticks have a period of 1 second, so this element can only measure
 * latencies smaller than that.
 *
 * ## Example pipeline
 * |[
 * gst-launch-1.0 -v autoaudiosrc ! audiolatency print-latency=true ! autoaudiosink
 * ]| Continuously print the latency of the audio output and the audio capture
 *
 * In this case, you must ensure that the audio output is captured by the audio
 * source. The simplest way is to use a standard 3.5mm male-to-male audio cable
 * to connect line-out to line-in, or speaker-out to mic-in, etc.
 *
 * Capturing speaker output with a microphone should also work, as long as the
 * ambient noise level is low enough. You may have to adjust the microphone gain
 * to ensure that the volume is loud enough to be detected by the element, and
 * at the same time that it's not so loud that it picks up ambient noise.
 *
 * For programmatic use, instead of using 'print-stats', you should read the
 * 'last-latency' and 'average-latency' properties at most once a second, or
 * parse the "latency" element message, which contains the "last-latency" and
 * "average-latency" fields in the GstStructure.
 *
 * The average latency is a running average of the last 5 measurements.
