Yes, you need to dynamically change the pipeline whenever you notice
that you need to do failover or alternatively you could have both
sources running all the time and use an input-selector element. But
dynamic pipelines, and the failover source only enabled when necessary,
is going to be more efficient.

For detecting when no data was received for a while you can use the
watchdog element from gst-plugins-bad, or as Michael said the timeout
property on udpsrc.
