Pads become active in the element READY->PAUSED state change and
inactive again in PAUSED->READY. The FLUSHING flag is set on the pad so
that any push/pull on the pad will return GST_FLOW_WRONG_STATE.

gst_pad_set_active (pad, TRUE) is the function.

If that is the case then I think the dataflow is just blocked in the
sink as the preroll buffer. Maybe you forget to add queues after the
srcpads to give all sinks a chance to receive a buffer?
