There are two different solutions to that problem:

1. Just put sync=false async=false on the sending-side sinks. But that
means that the sent stuff will not be synchronized to one another.

2. You can also do custom latency processing, by either subclassing
GstBin/GstPipeline or just by hooking up to the "do-latency" signal. In
this case you can give different latencies to different sinks. I have an
example [1] where you can tag different sinks with
g_object_set_qdata(obj, g_quark_from_string ("gst-latency-group"), <any
pointer>) .. then any sinks that have the same value will have the same
latency.

That said, Farsight2 still uses the sync=false/async=false tactic
instead of multiple latencies.
