If you do not do this, you will lose the data which is buffered
by the unlinked element. This can result in a simple frame loss
(one or more video frames, several milliseconds of audio). However
if you remove a muxer (and in some cases an encoder or similar elements)
from the pipeline, you risk getting a corrupted file which could not be
played properly, as some relevant metadata (header, seek/index tables, internal
sync tags) will not be stored or updated properly.
