Dynamic request pad

Hi,

Usually you link pads before the pipeline is started (in NULL state) or dynamically after dataflow has started (PAUSED/PLAYING). The overall state of the pipeline is usually of little concern for most elements in the middle (not sources/sinks), and even less so for pads. Even if the pipeline is in PAUSED state, there may still be dataflow happening in some parts of the pipeline.

So in short: it's fine to request and link pads from tee at any time.

yes.
