roundrobin usage

[Yair Reshef]

thank you for the clarification.
lets say i dont care for their outgoing sync/order.

i can mux them into a single file.

gst-launch-1.0 -v \
videotestsrc ! roundrobin name=source \
matroskamux name=mkvMux ! filesink location=/opt/mv/foo.mkv \
source. ! queue ! coloreffects ! mkvMux. \
source. ! queue ! coloreffects ! mkvMux. \
source. ! queue ! coloreffects ! mkvMux.

but is there a (dirty?) way to merge them into a single stream?
