Hi Julien,

there was already some comment on this on IRC, but here goes:

Cupid has a 'manager' element that can do this, but not after a specific
timeout (you need to send an EOS event on it from your application). The
nice thing about the solution is that it is a bin which contains the
elements-to-timeout, and is thus EOS-handleable. Bug #162634 has a
'clip' element, which has properties (so more like what you want), but
the implementation is kind of suboptimal (it doesn't seek to start-time
or eos after end-time; it just drops data). Gnonlin probably also has
such elements (they're really very easy to write. :) ).
