The only way to do this as far as I know is to destroy the spider
element once it has finished playing and then create a new spider in its
place.

I tried to do this operation in the EOS callback, but this caused a
deadlock in gstreamer.  I submitted a patch for the bug here:

Hopefully the maintainers will have a chance to address it, because the
patch was certainly necessary for me to use the EOS callback for
creating a new spider.
