           Summary: liveadder: What is the unit for "latency"?
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: self at brendanlong.com

     GNOME version: ---


The documentation for liveadder says:

> The "latency" property
>  "latency"                  guint                 : Read / Write
> Amount of data to buffer.
> Default value: 60

It's confusing because it doesn't give a unit at all. 60 seconds? 60
milliseconds? 60 buffers?

I assume it means milliseconds based on this line in a different part of the
page:

> Unlike the adder, the liveadder mixes the streams according the their timestamps and waits for some milli-seconds before trying doing the mixing.

If that's the case, I'd recommend changing the documentation to say:

> Number of milliseconds to buffer data
