Yes, you are absolutely right. That was not visible from the patch (lack of
context), but
  bufsize = buf->spec.segsize * buf->spec.segtotal;

What we should do instead is to configure the buffer- and latency-time from the
high-level bins (and obviously revert the patch):
- playbin2 can set long buffer-time (1 sec) and use low number of segments
(2-4).
- rtpbin would consigure a low-latency time and use 2 segments
(buffer-time=2*latency-time)

I mark this as a blocker in oder to get consensus before next release.
