The "begin" event

When a media begins, it sends a "begin" event. If another media waits for this event, it catches it.

To make a media wait to an event, one of its synchronization attributes (begin or end) should be written has follow:

<!-- if you want tag to start when
     another tag begins -->
<tag begin="id(specifiedId)(begin)" />

<!-- if you want tag to start 3s after
     another tag begins -->
<tag begin="id(specifiedId)(3s)" />

<!-- if you want tag to start when
     another tag ends -->
<tag begin="id(specifiedId)(end)" />
