Are you using your own application or gst-launch? A common mistake is
not to send EOS to the pipeline (and waiting for it to be posted on the
bus) before setting it to NULL state.

If you're using this on gst-launch, just use the -e flag, in your
application send a eos event to the pipeline and wait for an EOS message
on the bus.

Hope this helps,

Thiago
