currently the only way to detect end of stream is when gst_bin_iterate
returns FALSE (the pipeline
stops). We hope to make this a little more intuitive some day...

All elements fire the eos signal when they go to EOS. You could listen
for the EOS signal in
the renderer plugin to detect when the final bit has been rendered.

State change doesn't happen on EOS (that's a bug)

gst_element_set_state (element, GST_STATE_NULL) and
gst_bin_unref on the toplevel bin should do.

Are you using threads?
