When to queue.

[Andre Caldas]

When do I have to use a queue?
Every tutorial or how to I read people put queues between elements...
no one explains why.

Are queues mandatory in some cases? When?

I'm no expert, however I think queues are used for syncronization.
Queues are in additional threads. Also I've been told to use queues
whenever a stream is 'split'. So tee, any demuxer etc.

How exactly they help syncronization?
