--- Comment #6 from Tim-Philipp Müller <t.i.m at zen.co.uk> ---
I think we should use the SPARSE flag automatically but should still allow
subclasses to override that "somehow" (auto/always-wait/never-wait enum
perhaps?)

I don't think we should wait in live mode until the deadline anyway for sparse
streams, that would defeat the point of marking them as sparse imho. If so,
there would have to be a way to set a separate / possibly smaller timeout for
sparse pads, otherwise you pretty much always wait for max latency with live
sparse streams (where there'll likely not be any gap events), no?

But maybe your questions indicate that more flexibility may be needed in
future, which might points towards an enum and keeping it simple for now (never
wait).
