For each receive pipeline, you should only have two threads involved in
the streaming, one taking packets from the network socket to the
jitterbuffer. And one taking packets from the jitterbuffer. If you have
audio and video, then that's a total of 4 threads.

There is also a rtpbin containing all of those. The number of elements
doesn't really affect the number of threads or the performance much.
