OK, I got it. Both are actually the same because all buffering in live
pipelines is leaky, even if the element just blocks. And every element can only
have a positive impact or 0 on the max latency.

So what Olivier says makes most sense as it is simpler. I'll fix everything
accordingly tomorrow, especially the base classes. Will put it in a branch for
review :)

Sorry for being a bit short, on my phone right now. Had the insight while
driving ;)
