I guess that for 'filesink', 'Stop()' does not mean the job is finished, 
as you may call 'Play()' again.

As by default 'filesink' uses a buffer, things are not immediately 
written to the disk (you can disable that). So if you break the pipeline 
before the normal end, you may get a void file.

Only 'Close()' will tell 'filesink' that the job is done, and so force 
him to flush everything to the disk.
