Possible to have appSrc need-data respect framerate

[Sean DuBois]

In an attempt to make my code as simple as possible I am trying to use
the appSrc 'need-data' event. Everything works great, however it pulls
as fast as it can (and not the framerate I have set any where) I posted
the example pipeline below. So right now this will fire the need-data
event as much as it can (until CPU usage hits 100%)

I would like to avoid spinning up another thread just to push buffers
onto the appsrc behind a timer. If I do that I have to query the state
of the pipeline and make sure I stop pushing. But if that is the
idiomatic way that is fine, I just want to check if what I want to do is
possible.
