Seems the CameraBase doesn't provide any method to actually close the camera, since stop is actually pause (at least in pygst provider), one can stop the camera (at least the light goes down) by changing the state to STATE_NULL or STATE_READY in pygst provider, but then the camera can't start again, i guess one needs to reinit the pipeline in this situation. Our API is a bit simplistic there.
