No, you need to use "use-pipeline-clock" at least. And ensure that both
pipelines (sender and receiver) are using the same clock. You can't do
that with gst-launch!

No, the important part here is that via RTCP some clock time exchange
will happen and then the timestamps on the receiver side are exactly
the same clock time as on the sender side.

Related your later questions: codec and stuff does not matter, what
matters are the timestamps (the buffer timestamps in clock time must be
the same in the end! PTS or running time don't matter), the same clock
and that all receivers use the same latency.

You need 1.5.1 or GIT master. And you can't use gst-launch for all of
this, see above. Please write some proper code instead of using gst
-launch, gst-launch is only a testing tool.

You will most likely also need the new gst_pipeline_set_latency() API
on the receivers.
