it depends on the data, because you need some element that can interpret
the data somehow and timestamp it correctly.  In the case of ogg, you
would need an element that knows about each codec that can be in the ogg
stream and interprets the granulepos so that it can timestamp the
buffers.

Such an element has not been written yet afaik.

I don't understand what you're asking here ? On the client side the
pipeline will wait for the server to start.
