Easiest is to use segment seeks. Then you don't get an EOS event but
just a segment-done message in the application. From there you can just
seek back again to the beginning.

You will need to adjust the segments to make the running time be
continuous after every loop instead of starting from 0 again, see
gst_pad_set_offset().
