Hi Luciana!

Well, actually it was the right file, but the file was not right :-)

I extended a previous example (see the comments), which was missing that 
method too (bad excuse, I know).
But the program still runs and (I think) it shows how to use 
input-selector. The unused 'filename' is mine...

I send the file fixed. I just replaced 'filename' with 'filepath', and 
added the method on_eos in SwitchTest class:
######
   def on_eos(self):
       self.stop()
######

I think the problem is when a filesrc is connected to an 
input-selector's sink, but not selected, the filesrc it is running at 
very high speed. So you can switch sometimes, but it reaches the end of 
the stream very quickly, and then you cannot play it anymore.
I think the most desirable behaviour of input-selector would be all 
sources running at normal speed, or al least, non-selected sources 
paused (volunteers...? :-)
