The latency and interlatency tracers in GstShark are no longer useful
in my opinion. Julian and I (Collabora) have fixed many issues and came
up with a completely upstream solution for this.

Since 1.16, you can now use the upstream latency tracer to get three
type of information:

  - Complete pipeline latency
  - Per element latency (not the cumulative like interlatency did)
  - Per element reported latency

To enable all of these:

GST_TRACERS="latency(flags=pipeline+elemen+reported)" GST_DEBUG=GST_TRACER:7 ./...


The initial issue we had with the RidgeRun implementation was a bug
inherited from the original upstream tracer. The time spent in the the
wait function of the sink was included. We also found that the
cumulative latency wasn't so nice to debug the reported latency. The
reported latency tracing is completely new. That being said, thanks to
RidgeRun for the proof of concept.

> I've been working with gstreamer for about a year and wanted to use your tools to profile my working pipelines (actually, programs) so I could debug future problems. I followed the instructions to 'git', make and install the code but I must have done something wrong.  The only time it seems to do anything is when I set GST_TRACERS=latency.  It then displays the latency in the running window like this:
