[gst-devel] Odd replay issue...

Hello,

   I have written a GTK based app, it has been fun using and learning 
gstreamer. I've gotten most everything working well and the way I need, 
however I've noticed a bit of an issue I can't seem to figure out. My 
app has two separate pipelines, one for viewing a source (and recording 
it), and a second to replay recorded files. Everything is pretty much 
working well.

   Here's the problem, I start up my application, and start the 
recording viewer, at which point it is basically src->xvimagesink. Then 
when I click record and it adds a bin to a tee src and starts recording.

   When I go to review it by loading the file in the other viewer 
pipeline I have some odd behaviour. Suppose I watched the recording 
pipeline for 5 minutes before clicking the record button. When I go to 
review that recording, the timeoverlay on display starts the clock at 
00:05:00 instead of 00:00:00. I don't get it. If I use gst-launch 
filesrc="file.mpg" !timeoverlay !xvimagesink it starts at 00:00:00... so 
why is my separate pipline showing a timestamp at the point of recording?

Any help would be appreciated.
