That's not quite right. You get one thread per source[1], and then one thread in the audiomixer to aggregate the buffers and push the aggregated output on its own srcpad.

The (Rust) threadshare elements allow you to avoid the one-thread-per-source requirement by sharing a thread, but the way it is currently written, it can be tricky to mix threadshare elements and non-threadshare elements with their own threads.
