Handle unexpected camera control callback event

Hello there!
Is there a way to propagate this kind of error further to gstreamer?
0:00:48.536833422 8002 0xc79960 ERROR rpicamsrc RaspiCapture.c:757:camera_control_callback: Received unexpected camera control callback event, 0x4f525245
It happens for example when camera is turned off while streaming.
I also noticed that when camera is turned back on, bit stream doesn't get reinitialized and hence the data form the camera doesn't get sent.
How do you trigger that? You have a camera with an external power switch?
Yep, that is exactly the situation. I guess the same thing would pop up if Raspberry Pi Camera is pulled out.
The GStreamer way to propagate that will be to generate a GST_MESSAGE_ERROR on the bus so the application can find out and restart the pipeline.
I might do a bit of work later to propagate a correct and useful error on the bus rather than the generic one, but this looks like it works fine for your use case already, so I think that's a nice-to-have. Thanks!
