You would probably need to insert a silent (gap) buffer and modify the
timestamp.

There is also a bug for what sounds a similar request:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653601

personally I'd prefer an element like in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641024
which would work for audio and video. It could (optionally) insert
gap-buffers for padding (when increasing the delay) or drop buffers
(when lowering the delay).
