What happens sounds very much like you don't enforce the same base time
on all involved pipelines.

You can do so by doing the following *before* setting the pipelines to
PLAYING:

    gst_element_set_base_time(pipeline, X);
    gst_element_set_start_time(pipeline, GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE);

In addition you also want to force the same clock on all pipelines:

    gst_pipeline_use_clock(pipeline, clock);


You could e.g. use a base time of 0 on all pipelines and the system
clock, or set the base time to the clock time when you start the very
first pipeline.
