SRC elements don't have this parameter. To have synchronisation, you
must have those to TRUE on the audio and video SINK elements on the
receiver side. For sure, video won't be smooth if your network (combine
with encoding parameters) cause more latency then what is being
configured. (note, I have no idea what you are referring to for rtpsrc)

You can try increasing the latency parameter, the rest seems to depend
on your use case, and on how the sender side is implemented. Normally,
200ms shall be sufficient, but that depends on many factor, and the
quality you want to achieve. You should consider having a second look at
how you are encoding your video. If you are using a public encoder, you
could expose the settings you use here.
