If by "stops working" you mean that the pipeline simply stops, i.e. blocks, then
you may not have inserted queue's following the tee element.  Doing so should
solve this [since each sink will hold its thread in PAUSED state, but with only
1 thread the other sink does not get a chance to reach PAUSED].

If you mean something else (or do have queues), then what precisely ?
