it's possible as you don't have any CNG elements in your pipeline.
I've been hacking for a while on it but, unfortunately, there's
nothing really presentable so far. Shame on me :( .

Actually, there's no support for comfort noise in GStreamer. You may
find something in Farsight, but when I last checked it there was
nothing really working. Since I've not tried again for a while maybe
the thing has evolved in the meanwhile.

I'm loosely working on the CNG element which may help you with this.
Maybe it'll be possible to completely prototype it during winter
vacations.
