gb.media is a direct interface to gstreamer. So the first thing to do is 
finding how to do what you want to do in gstreamer. Once done, you 
translate into gb.media API, and either it works, either there is 
something missing in gb.media that needs to be implemented.

Just find first how to record a camera with gstreamer, and I would be 
able to help you to translate that into gb.media code.
