Why do you join() the thread? This will block your main thread until
the thread has finished. Try removing that line.

Also if you want to have a playback application and nothing more
complicated with GStreamer, take a look at GstPlayer:
https://github.com/sdroege/gst-player

That one can be used directly from your main thread as nothing is
blocking and all event handling is done in the background.
