for flow control if relies on a gstreamer element that produces correct
timestamps. If you are, for example, sending an mp3 file, you need to
insert mp3parse after the filesrc so that timestamps are properly set on
the data.

You can make a subclass of the mediafactory to dynamically create
pipelines. The example base class only accept gst-launch type syntax.

Again this can be implemented using subclasses of the standard example
factories.
