Hi Sebastian,

I'll incorporate your requested changes now. I just have one question though
about the expected behaviour of the source element when it's sending flushing.
In the documentation I can find, that means that the element should be
discarding all buffers. In the case of a running HTTP transfer, does that mean
I should drop any received buffers from the remote server that I haven't yet
sent downstream?

Given that the downstream is then not receiving some part of the resource that
has been requested, should I cancel the in-flight HTTP request, and then send
GST_FLOW_EOS the next time ::create() is called after ::unlock_stop()? At a
cursory glance, this seems to be the behaviour of souphttpsrc. Or have I got
the wrong end of the stick here?
