The use case is the following.
My pipeline is:
souphttpsrc !           motion JPEG HTTP stream from camera
multipartdemux !
metadataparse !         extract image size from JPEG, bug 503616
queue !
matroskamux !           patched to not require redundant framerate in caps
filesink

I need to be able to interrupt the pipeline and finish off the Matroska file
cleanly. The only solution that does not result in filesink going to READY and
refusing subsequent writes from matroskamux to close off the file cleanly (and
write the duration header), is to send an EOS event to souphttpsrc. However,
GstBaseSrc's event handler does not handle an EOS event and returns false. The
event is then discarded and the pipeline continues.
