Your plugin does not specify a complete GstCaps for the RGB video format
(fe. the bitmaks are missing and the widht/height is not set). The
videosink will in this case not know what to show, so nothing will
happen.
I suggest to add a link function on the sinkpad that parses the
widht/height of the incomming frames and use gst_pad_try_set_caps to
forward this format on the srcpad (look at goom for example and adapt
for the video format).

Wim
