At the present stage I'm trying to understand the structure of rtp
plugins that are in gst-plugins-good in order to insert
gst_rtp_buffer_get/set_extension, gst_rtp_buffer_get/set_extension_data
and gst_rtp_buffer_get/set_extension_bytes somewhere.

Readings, suggestions and/or examples are welcome.

No. Frame-grabbers are not perfect so they produce frames at

N.025+epsilon1, N.050+epsilon1, ...
N.025+epsilon2, N.050+epsilon2, ...

This is out of my control, but I have timestamps.

What I wanted to clarify is that if I use two pipelines like in RTSP
net-clock-client code for receiving the two streams (from two different
servers), they are indeed synchronized but I'm missing a way to estimate
epsilon1 from pipeline1 and epsilon2 from pipeline2.

Thanks,
