EOS is a valid way to close the stream and end the file, but you need to 
wait until the splitmuxsink posts EOS on its bus to know that that has 
actually completed - simply sending the EOS event on the sink pad(s) and 
changing the state to NULL won't give it a chance to process the EOS fully.

There may be a bug around being reusable - I'm not sure that's been 
properly tested yet. splitmuxsink is pretty new.
