playbin does not change states by itself. You should be able to do a
(flushing) seek after EOS. You can also do non-flushing seeks with the
SEGMENT flag set, then you don't get an EOS message but a segment done
message and can do another non-flushing seek to get seamless
playback/looping within the same file.
