Ok, so if I understand correctly the request is basically that gst-launch
should also force an EOS on the pipeline (and wait for the result) when it
catches an error message on the bus.

I'm not sure if that's a good idea because when you get an error message on the
bus you don't know if the EOS event will ever make it through to the sinks, so
waiting for an EOS message could take forever.

Also, gst-launch is a tool for debugging purposes, don't use it in any kind of
production environment where you have precious data that you can't lose.

But then, gst-launch is just a debugging tool, so if it hangs forever trying to
force an EOS after an error isn't the end of the world either.
