If that's something you need to do you should perhaps consider writing
your own element instead.

Having said that, it should be possible with GStreamer >= 1.6 using the
new GST_PAD_PROBE_HANDLED return value that lets you set the flow
return (and assumes you pushed the buffer/event/whatever on yourself,
so you probably need to free it if not).
