This's my testing pipeline :

..............................
pipeline = gst_pipeline_new ("pipeline");
    fakesrc = gst_element_factory_make ("fakesrc", "source");
    decoder = gst_element_factory_make ("ffdec_mpeg4","mpeg4-decoder");
    videoscale = gst_element_factory_make ("videoscale", "scaling-video");
    par = gst_element_factory_make ("capsfilter", "dimens");
    videorate=gst_element_factory_make("videorate", "rateVideo");

    parFakesrc = gst_element_factory_make ("capsfilter", "fakeSrcType");

    parDDSink = gst_element_factory_make ("capsfilter", "ddSinkSetup");

    g_object_set (G_OBJECT(parFakesrc), "caps",
        gst_caps_new_simple ("video/mpeg",
        "width", G_TYPE_INT, 720,
        "height", G_TYPE_INT, 288,
        "framerate",GST_TYPE_FRACTION,25,1,
        "mpegversion",G_TYPE_INT,4,
        "systemstream",G_TYPE_BOOLEAN,false),
        NULL);

    g_object_set (G_OBJECT(par), "caps",
      gst_caps_new_simple( "video/x-raw-yuv",
        "width", G_TYPE_INT, 720,
        "height", G_TYPE_INT, 576,NULL),
      NULL );

    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (fakesrc),
        "blocksize",40000,
        "signal-handoffs", TRUE,
        "sizemin", 0,
        "sizemax", 30000,
        "sizetype", 3,
        "datarate", 2000,
        "filltype",2,
         NULL);

    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (videorate),
        "in", 0,
        "out", 25,
         NULL);

    g_object_set (G_OBJECT(parDDSink), "caps",
        gst_caps_new_simple ("video/x-raw-rgb",
        "width", G_TYPE_INT, 720,
        "height", G_TYPE_INT, 576,
        "framerate",GST_TYPE_FRACTION,25,1),
        NULL);

    conv = gst_element_factory_make ("ffmpegcolorspace", "converter");

    videosink = gst_element_factory_make ("directdrawsink", "directdraw");

    gst_bin_add_many (GST_BIN (pipeline),
            fakesrc, parFakesrc, decoder,videoscale ,par,videorate,
conv,parDDSink, videosink, NULL);

    gst_element_link_many (fakesrc,parFakesrc,decoder,videoscale,
par,videorate, conv, parDDSink, videosink, NULL);

Some of the pads are unusefull but I've leaved it...
I can't find any pads or element properties to convert my time_t (the time
as seconds elapsed since midnight, January 1, 1970) to the TIME type that
you are talking about.
However I've tried the buffer allocation with  GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA but
nothing is changed.
I don't believe that is possible to run my MFC application with GST_DEBUG
output, or I was unable to find a way to do it.
I see that offset parameter of gst_buffer increments with the first packets
from 0 to X, it sounds good but the offset_end have a different value (the
ending byte of the offset, I assume), so I've tried to force this value to
the offset one but nothing to do.
I think that the problem is in timestamp value but I cannot find a way to
escape from this hell...
