just for posterity, the code was missing a

  g_object_set (fakesrc, "sizetype", 2, NULL);

so that fakesrc creates buffers of the size as set by the 'maxsize'
property and not empty buffers, and a

  g_object_set (fakesrc, "can-activate-pull", FALSE, NULL);

There is a typefind element just after fakesrc, which will try to
activate in pull-mode first, whereas the example wants to feed data
chunk-by-chunk.
