filesink - reset file size to 0 on active stream

[arc]

I have a pipeline that implements an output selector to switch between a
filesink and a fakesink. When switching to back to the filesink I'd like to
start from a file size of zero instead of appending to the file. Is there
any way to do this? Currently I'm using the brute force method of file i/o
to open the file with the "wb" flag and then closing before switching back
to the filesink.

Did you try to cycle the sink element through null state while switching ?

Thanks for the reply.
Not sure if I implemented your suggestion correctly, but I tried setting the
filesink to the null state when the fakesink is selected, then setting the
filesink to the play state before the filesink is re-selected. I'm not
observing the file size being reset to 0 though.
