This:

  gst_element_send_event (pipeline, gst_event_new_eos())

should inject an EOS event at filesrc, and travel down via the encoder
and muxer (which will clean up properly and write headers) to the
filesink, which will then post an EOS message for you on the bus.

Assuming that encoder element passes this through properly.

Cheers
