[Bug 762302] Dynamically changing the pipeline: why flush any queued data?

--- Comment #4 from Sebastian Dröge (slomo) <slomo at coaxion.net> ---
Well, in any case you lose data. If that results in corrupted output or not
depends on which data it is, and what kind of format.

It will never result in crashes or anything else though (or you found a bug).



Removing a appsrc and demuxer usually does not cause corruptions, downstream of
them would just not get any new data. Removing a muxer on the other hand can
cause corrupted output if not drained properly as the muxer might have to e.g.
rewrite headers to create a valid file (duration, seek table, etc).
