The applied rate is the rate that has been applied to the stream.
The effective/resulting playback rate of a stream is
rate * applied_rate.
The applied rate can be set by source elements when a server is
sending the stream with an already modified playback speed
rate. Filter elements that modify the stream in a way that
modifies the playback speed should also modify the applied
rate. For example the #videorate element when its
#videorate:rate property is set will set the applied rate of
the segment it pushed downstream. Also #scaletempo applies the
input segment rate to the stream and outputs a segment with
rate=1.0 and applied_rate=<inputsegment.rate>.
