What to do if the filesrc never emits the resource error?  This is my
experience: even if the filesrc location (i.e. /dev/video0) disappears, the
filesrc never emits an error.  I can detect the disappearance of the filesrc
with my own polling thread (or with libudev, i.e. look for a usb "remove"
action), and then try and do what you suggest above, but it hangs at
gst_element_set_state.
