Hi all, I am implementing the demuxer which will divide the input stream into multiple. I wrote a function for request_new_pad which creates a new srcpad new_from_template, now this one is associated with my element by "gst_element_add_pad". And after that I keep a pointers to alll such newly created srcpads. I'm using default handlers for event passing ( which apparently passes the down-stream events to all srcpads in that element) In my chain function: When I try to push data to first srcpad that fails..... it never returns and the next element never gets a pushed buffer.. may be its waiting for some events tobe passed down ? Could it be a PreRolling issue ? thanks in advance, --vinayak Here is snappet of my code : _request_new_pad() {   MySplit *split= .....;   splitpad = gst_pad_new_from_template(templ, padname);   GST_PAD_ELEMENT_PRIVATE (splitpad) = split;   gst_pad_use_fixed_caps (splitpad);   gst_pad_set_event_function(splitpad, gst_src_event);   .   .   gst_element_add_pad(element, splitpad);   srcpads[index++] = splitpad; } _chain_func(GstPad *pad, GstBuffer *buffer) {   for(i=0; i < n_srcpads; i++) {    if(somecondition) {       outbuf = gst_buffer_new();    }    .    .   (!GST_PAD_PEER (srcpads[i]))      return;    gst_pad_push (srcpads[i], outbuf); }
