To stop camerabin you should wait for it to become idle. There is an 
'idle' property to inform that,
or you just need to track the 'image-done' and 'video-done' messages it 
posts for each capture.
Other than that, it just works like a regular pipeline, set it to NULL 
and unref and it is finished. No
need to send EOS to it.

Your problem seems to be related to something else. Do you have a 
mainloop running? Is it quit
when you close the window? You can try running with gdb to check what 
threads are still running
when you try to close your application.
