We very strongly recommend against use ffmux_*; they mostly don't
work, and we can't help you with them.

Which element do you want to run in pull mode? Presumably the muxer:
you'd have to rewrite the muxer to run in pull mode. But it still
won't work, since you don't have an h264 parser in your pipeline.
Maybe you wanted to add a parser, then run THAT in pull mode? Either
way: if it doesn't already support pull mode, you'd need to add that
functionality to the source.
