        <p>Send multiple DTMF events to all eligible streams in the channel.
        Each tone will be played for an implementation-defined number of
        milliseconds (typically 250ms), followed by a gap before the next tone

          <p>The tone and gap lengths may need to vary for interoperability,
            according to the protocol and other implementations' ability to
            recognise tones. At the time of writing, GStreamer uses a
            minimum of 250ms tones and 100ms gaps when playing in-band DTMF
            in the normal audio stream, or 70ms tones and 50ms gaps when
            encoding DTMF as <code>audio/telephone-event</code>.</p>
