v 1.12, Incorrect current position of GstPipeline is reported

[Mathieu Duponchelle]

Also, more importantly, do you have any reason for not using GESPipeline?

If not, I advise you do so, as it's the recommended way to run a GES timeline.

When the terminal reports being 100% done, I can see that the target mp4 file (the final output of the pipeline) is less than 5% of it's final size.
