Anything using fork() like this is not going to be possible with GStreamer or
anything GLib based, or generally anything that is using threads (or if you
want to support Windows later, which has no fork() at all). There's not much we
can do about that unfortunately.

The bigger picture you describe is definitely possible with GStreamer though,
but you have to model your application in a different way for that. For example
by using threads, or by using really separate processes that are communicating
with each other via IPC (and e.g. exchange the actual media data with shared
memory).
