That's right. playbin2 has no source or sink pads - it's entirely
self-contained. There's no nice way to do what you want here.
If you're really stuck with using playbin2 for this, you can create a
bin that contains your tee, the encoder, etc, as well as the normal
videosink, and set that as the video-sink property on playbin2. Pretty
ugly, but should be possible.
Some notes on the particular pipeline fragments you've got there:
- you probably don't want to have a filename ending with 'mkv' if
you're using ogg.
- you want "framerate=(fraction)10/1" rather than fps=10.
- the curly-braces are an obsolete part of the gst-launch syntax,
you shouldn't use them.
