The previous patch did not work because GST_FLOW_RESEND doesn't work.

I have this working in a real-life scenario.

I register an out-of-space handler that
* sets the max-size property to -1 (no more limits),
* stops my mainloop,
* returns TRUE to indicate that the operation should be retried.

When the mainloop stops, in the main thread, I send an EOS signal on the bus
and restart the mainloop.

This allows me to cleanly finish processing of a stream until I reach a certain
file threshold.

The same mechanism can be used for integration with a GUI that can stop or
pause a pipeline when the system is out of disk space.
