The processing deadline is the acceptable amount of time to process the media
in a live pipeline before it reaches the sink. This is on top of the algorithmic
latency that is normally reported by the latency query. This should make
pipelines such as "v4lsrc ! xvimagesink" not claim that all frames are late
in the QoS events. Ideally, this should replace max_lateness for most applications.
