GstBaseSrc and GstPushSrc are design for single pad (it's a limitation
of it's threading model). You'll have to build on top of GstElement or
implement multiple GstPushSrc (e.g. with a shared context/singleton).

In GStreamer, stereo image are stored in a single GstBuffer. Split
allocation views can be express as a top/bottom placement and two
GstMemory stored in GstBuffer.
