Elements in the middle of a pipeline usually behave the same in PAUSED
or PLAYING state. Sinks will block when set to PAUSED state though,
which will at some point block upstream data flow as well (e.g. when
queues fill up).

The same applies to non-live sources.

You can block pads to block data flow at certain points in a pipeline.
You'll need to make sure that won't lead to other parts of the pipeline
'drying up' (e.g. muxers, videomixer, adder, those kind of elements).

Videomixer (sink) pads have "xpos", "ypos", "alpha" and "zorder"
properties which you can set. I think "zorder" takes care of stacking
order.
