I'd vote for any solution that makes the loss of signal non-fatal.  As long as
there is a message on the bus, the app can substitute the v4l source with any
other means of generating a fallback signal.

I'm not sure of a clean way in the current system to catch the v4l errors that
are posted and intercept the EOS before the pipeline comes down (though there's
likely a better way I missed).  If the v4l source can handle the logic of
detecting re-availability of the device, that would be very useful.
