1st of all : your code can't compile... that's one point. Try this instead:
gst_object_unref(GST_OBJECT(pipeline)*)*;

Calling g_main_loop_quit at this point makes your main() func to return
and so resources are freed (including pipeline), so trying to access
them with gst_element_set_state falls into segv.
Call g_main_loop_quit after gst_object_unref(GST_OBJECT(pipeline)) instead.
