You would implement a new element, based around GstElement. Inside the
chain function you would use the GstRTPBuffer API to add the header
extension, or to get/parse it.

I have some code here for doing that but I'll have to find some time to
clean it up before I can publish it anywhere.

You could add an element in the pipeline (that you write) to collect
timestamp statistics, or just use a pad probe on one of the pads to
collect timestamps.
