I write to file descriptor (fd) 4, redirect stdout to stderr (1>&2) et
redirect fd 4 to stdout (4>&1). This prevent corruption by standard
ouput. I don't pretend this is a clean solution, also you most likely
want a queue2 to deal with connecion speed change.

As said, rsync only works if you store the file to your local disk
first, which already works in GStreamer. Honestly  I thought that you
mean connection speed is unstable, but if you loose connection, that is
something else.

good luck,
Nicolas
