gst_element_link() is for very straightforward linking. Basically it can 
only be trusted for element linking where there is 1 static src pad, and 
1 static sink pad (when multiple static pads, it blindly pick the 
first). For your case, obviously using request pad directly seems to be 
the most trusted method, but note that gst_element_link_pads() where you 
can pass the pad name (sink_%u) work for request pads too. In all case, 
you should always handle the return value of these method, it will help 
finding and tracking down issues.
