The problem is that the newly added branch does not have any context.
There are various workarounds that you can find in e.g.
gst-plugins-base/tests/examples/dynamic. But as you can see, you can't
really atomically set the base-time. It might work a little better by
sticking your elements into a bin, then you only need to do the {
paused, set_base_time, play } on the bin.
