  GStreamer | gst-plugins-base | Ver: 0.10.23
           Summary: Multifdsink is not working on most input sources
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.23
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: skjelten at pvv.org
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: 2.25/2.26
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Please describe the problem:
When using the multifdsink plugin, depending on the pipeline's source feed, the
pipeline freezes and no data is being written to the file descriptors.

Sources known to work: videotestsrc and v4l2src
Sources known _not_ to work: filesrc, souphttpsrc and rtspsrc

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a pipeline with multifdsink and add a network socket to the
multifdsink
2. Observe that with videotestsrc and v4l2src the streaming works fine
3. Change source to filesrc and observe that the pipeline halts


Actual results:


Expected results:
I can't see any good reasons for the multifdsink not to handle various kinds of
input. I've tried to add ffmpegcolorspace and queues, but with no luck

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
I've written a very small http server demo which illustrates the problem. I'll
attach it to this bug report.
