I tested it with an up-to-date master - it works!

Thanks a lot for paying attention to this problem and your proper fix.

Thanks for the warning. There are plenty of threads in GStreamer forums 
dealing with this subject and we may have to learn how to release an EOS 
in Gambas and/or to check the status of the pipeline buffer. If someone 
knows how to do this - please share it.
