Appsrc doesn't play audio to autoaudiosink

I am finally making some progress! I set the min-latency to 8000000000
which obviously causes a huge delay, but does allow audio to play. When I
stop sending audio I get a "Got Underflow" error from pulsesink and then
audio does not play again until I restart the application. Also, the audio
does not sound great. It's almost like it's playing under speed, sounds a
bit lower than expected. I have to set the volume to at least 2 to be able
to hear the audio well.

Is there a way to compensate for the timestamps coming in from the source
without introducing a large delay? I am guessing that since I am basically
just passing the opus from Zello through my application that the
origins opus timestamp is being used, which of course would be well past
when my app starts playing.

All the best,
Kyle Gibbons
