What kind of socket is this? Do you expect multiple clients to send on
the same socket?

In any case, try

  fdsrc fd=x ! filesink location=foo.ts

and see if you can play the foo.ts file afterwards.

I'm not sure how this solves your problem btw (multiple clients).

Do you want a separate playback pipeline server-side for each client?
