This usually means that either source or filesink or both are NULL or
uninitialised bogus pointers. You can run your code in gdb with the
G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings environment variable set, to make it stop at the
warning (so you can investigate).

If you post your full code, someone might be able to spot the problem.
