*'''Timestamp synchronization''' <br> The base times of independent pipelines will likely be different. Given that a buffer will be transferred from one pipe to another, this may represent a problem in situations where synchronization is a must. GstInterpipe takes care of this situation by compensating the buffer's timestamps according to the pipeline's base time, ensuring appropriate synchronization. | *'''Timestamp synchronization''' <br> The base times of independent pipelines will likely be different.

*'''Specialized clocks''' At the time being, pipelines negotiate their clock independently. If a pipeline uses a special clock (i.e.: GstAudioSinkClock), the associated pipes (being independent) may negotiate different clocks, typically GstSystemClock. This could be a big problem if, for example, synchronization between streams is required. It is currently responsibility of the application to set the special clock in all the involved pipes by calling [https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstPipeline.html#gst-pipeline-set-clock gst_pipeline_set_clock]. | |||
