Gstreamer continue playing a deleted file

[cristian]

I observed that an mp3 application using a base pipeline for decoding that when launching the binary and a given sample, the pipeline begins to work and in that time I remove the audio file that is playing, the pipeline continue to play with no problems.
I don't know what gstreamer is doing, I guess it buffers 100% the file from the beggining and then doesn't get its data from the original audio file.
My question is that, where can I look or modify my code that the pipeline stops when the audio file is deleted during the playing state?

You opened your filehandle in kernel space; the reference to your
deleted file will only be gone once the filehandle is closed. This is
not GStreamer related.

You might be right about this but how can I open my filehandle in kernel space???

I suggest using g_timeout_add() to check periodically (e.g. every
second) if the file still exists [using fopen(..., "r"), fstat(), ...],
and if not, stop pipeline.
