When using a tee element, linking an element to its sink pad AFTER a source has
already been linked to it makes it segfault when setting the pipeline to state
PLAYING.

When the sink pad is linked to an element BEFORE the source has been linked, the
tee works as expected.


Example of a tee that works (sink pad linked BEFORE the source):
tee_works.c:


#include <gst/gst.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  GstElement *pipeline, *sine, *tee, *audiosink;
  GstPad *src, *sink;
  gst_init (&argc, &argv);

  pipeline = gst_pipeline_new ("main");
  sine = gst_element_factory_make ("sinesrc", "source");
  tee = gst_element_factory_make ("tee", "splitter");
  audiosink = gst_element_factory_make ("alsasink", "ouput");

  gst_bin_add_many (GST_BIN(pipeline), sine, tee, audiosink, NULL);

  /* Linking the elements */
  /* Linking the sink of the tee BEFORE requesting and linking a source pad */
  gst_element_link_many (sine, tee, NULL);

  sink = gst_element_get_pad (audiosink, "sink");
  src = gst_element_get_request_pad (tee, "src%d");
  gst_pad_link (src, sink);



  gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING);

  while (gst_bin_iterate (GST_BIN (pipeline)));

  gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_NULL);
  gst_object_unref (GST_OBJECT (pipeline));

  return 0;
}




Example of a tee that causes a segmentation fault (sink pad linked AFTER a
source pad has been linked):
tee_segfaults.c:


#include <gst/gst.h>

  gst_bin_add_many (GST_BIN(pipeline), sine, tee, audiosink, NULL);

  /* Linking the elements */
  sink = gst_element_get_pad (audiosink, "sink");
  src = gst_element_get_request_pad (tee, "src%d");
  gst_pad_link (src, sink);

  /* Linking the sink of the tee AFTER a source pad has been requested and linked */
  gst_element_link_many (sine, tee, NULL);


  gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING);

  while (gst_bin_iterate (GST_BIN (pipeline)));

  gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_NULL);
