Please, correct if I am wrong.

was done using gst_object_unparent(). 

This function seems to just zeroing the parent field of an element, but its
parent still thinks that it is an element's parent.
Is it correct?

I also tried gst_bin_remove(GST_BIN(m_player),GST_ELEMENT(m_videosink)), but
it returned false - the bin doesn't want to remove the videosink.

As a result, by the end of 7.8, I was still having one more background
thread running, that was removing the previously created playbin2 instance,
and also setting my videosink to the NULL state.

And the playbin2 didn't want to leave the videosink alone.
How can I make  to remove the videosink?

I really need it in the other place, since it still has a frame displayed,
and I want it frame to be on the window all the time, the pipeline
reconstruction takes place.

The pipeline (playbin2) was sent to the NULL state before the games with the
videosink began.
