Don't know if it will help you, but i worked together with a friend of mine
on a simple code that captures video using gstreamer, process the data on
OpenCV (actually it detects faces and draw an rectangle around them using
OpenCV Haar features)  and them pushes the processed OpenCV data on another
pipeline, using appsrc. The code was just a test of how OpenCV Haar works
and how to integrate it with Gstreamer, so it is a mess (lots of commented
code and even some commentaries on portuguese)...but maybe it will help you
:-).

The new_buffer callback should interest you, it basically process a buffer
coming from a appsink (pipeline1) and them pushes it on appsrc (pipeline2).
