Hi Paul,

the bugzilla usage is good, and our patch review time is amazingly bad. Anyway,
... The first idea is good, this is indeed a quick way to do partial clip
processing. It has some shortcomings: ideally, if you reach the end point, you
want to EOS the whole thing right away. For that to work correctly, it has to be
a managing bin, i.e. a bin around all of its preceeding elements.

Cupid and gnome-sound-recorder (and probably pitivi, too) already use that
concept in one way or another. Basically, for this to work correctly, the
element gets very specialistic and non-straightforward. I generally tend to
consider gst-plugins the wrong place for this. I'd prefer it to be added to
something like gnonlin, which is more suited towards this kind of media
processing (gnonlin is a wrapper around GStreamer for this kind of media editing
features).

That doesn't mean the patch is wrong, but this is simply the wrong place, imo.
I'm leaning towards a WONTFIX...
