Elements answering the latency query should set this to the maximum
time for which they can buffer upstream data without blocking or
dropping further data. For an element this value will generally be
- bigger than its own minimum latency, but might be bigger than that
- if it can buffer more data. As such, queue elements can be used to
- increase the maximum latency.

The value set in the query should again consider upstream's maximum
latency:
maximum latency. The base class' default query handler needs to be
overridden to correctly handle leaky buffering.
- If the element has multiple sinkpads, the maximum upstream latency is
- the minimum of all live upstream maximum latencies.
