Two problems here:

 (a) fakesrc will send a newsegment event in BYTES format,
     not TIME format (which you could probably work around
     by using gst_base_src_set_format() after creating the
     fakesrc element (needs linking against libgstbase-0.10).

 (b) the example doesn't set timestamps on the buffers it
     pushes out in the handoff callback.

Probably not really a very good example :)
