[gst-devel] problem with filesink

AFAIK, this is a known limitation. The only workaround i could found
sofar is blocking the pads of the filesink, switching it to a
fakesink, creating a new filesink with new location and linking it
back. However, this worked only on simple pipelines (videotestsrc,
single video pipeline), not complex ones (muxed ones).

I'd be glad to know more as well. What's the proper way to emit an
arbitrary EOS signal ?
