"Adding an EOS message" will have no effect.  Messages are for
communication from elements to the application.  You probably mixed them
up with events.

Your problem can be solved by making the live sources shut down
correctly -- in a way that makes them send an EOS event theirselves.
This is described in the section "Controlled shutdown of live sources in
applications" in this document:
