driver/usbvideodriver: reduce latency of GStreamer pipeline #1494

  1. driver/usbvideodriver: reduce latency of GStreamer pipeline

    The playbin3 uses a urisourcebin to open and read the uri. The
    urisourcebin detects the fd as a stream uri and internally crates a
    multiqueue with a default buffer duration of 5 s and a high watermark of
    0.60 to buffer the stream. This adds 3 s latency to the video stream.
    
    If the source signals that is it a live source, the urisourcebin would
    avoid buffering of the stream. Unfortunately, the fdsrc doesn't signal
    that the data is live, and doesn't have a property to change this.
    
    Use buffer-duration to set the size of the queue for buffering to 0 to
    avoid this additional latency.
    
    The queue could be completely removed by setting "buffering" in the
    flags property of playbin3 to 0, which would be equal to the behavior of
    a live source, but the changed flags are more difficult to understand
    than the buffer duration.
