[Gllug] Delayed data feed

[t.clarke]

I guess that ideally the primary process should time-stamp each of its output
lines (or blocks?) and pipe them to another process which simply reads each
block in turn and delays it for N seconds (where N = time-stamp + 30 - current-
time) before sending it off the wherever?   Not sure what happens when the
pipeline gets full - hopefully output from the primary processes is simply
stalled until the pipeline buffer reduces in size?

If the primary process cannot time-stamp, then maybe two pipes would do the
trick? :-

primary  ->  time-stamper  -> delayer  ->to wherever
process       process         process
