Probably best to look at the debug log to see where the EOS event gets
stuck.

Just before you do the gst_app_src_end_of_stream(), do

gst_debug_set_default_threshold(GST_LEVEL_LOG);

which will activate debug logging (to stderr). Then grep for 'eos' in
the output to see which elements it goes through.

 ... 2>&1 | grep -i eos


Also make sure that you keep the pipeline in PLAYING state, otherwise
the sink will not post the EOS message on the bus.
