+ * The Adder allows to mix several streams into one by adding the data.
+ * Mixed data is clamped to the min/max values of the data format.

+ * <para>
+ * <programlisting>
+ * gst-launch audiotestsrc freq=100 ! adder name=mix ! audioconvert ! alsasink audiotestsrc freq=500 ! mix.
+ * </programlisting>
+ * This pipeline produces two sine waves mixed together.
+ * </para>

+ * The Adder currently mixes all data received on the sinkpads as soon as possible
