I will try to give a quick overview of the issue in case someone may know something about this, and I can provide more detail if needed. Basically, it seems like there may be a race condition with EOS and SIGUSR2. When the SIGUSR2 signal is delivered to a pipeline that was transitioning due to EOS, I see the indication that the SIGUSR2 was caught, but no further info regarding taking the pipeline to NULL. </blockquote></div><div> Usually when an EOS occurs the pipeline state goes to READY (if you want to bring it to NULL, you need to do it i.e. in your bus callback). </div> </div></blockquote><div> According to: <a href="http://www.gstreamer.net/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-bus-message-types.html">http://www.gstreamer.net/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-bus-message-types.html</a> the pipeline does not actually change state by its own in front of a an EOS (that is, it remains to PLAYING if it was in such a state before the EOS). It's up to the application to perform any state changes so, most likely, your app is not setting the proper state in front of an end of stream. I'm so used to change state in the bus that I ended up thinking it's automatic ;) The other observations about your testing hw remain valid.

I suggest you to check your dmesg output and your BSP manual to know what's happening and how to restore functionality without a reboot. Are you sure even hw independent pipelines of the like of: gst-launch audiotestsrc ! fakesink -v are not working?
