But when my client disconnects from the server, and then try to reconnect, the pipeline is not working anymore. It seems that GstRTSPMedia is taking full control over my pipeline, setting it to GST_STATE_NULL when there is no more client.

Ok, so it seems in 0.10.8 version of gst-rtsp-server, I have some problems with "reuse" flag for pipeline. This is not a problem for me, so I stick with version 1.4.
The only remaining problem is the pipeline control. I want to let the pipeline in PLAYING state even when there is no client (I also record some video frame in file in same pipeline). Is there a way to keep control on pipeline state, and discard PLAY/STOP command from GstRTSPClient (handle_play_request / handle_teardown)?
