v4l2src should listen to it's peer what the optimal resolution it should
provide is. The default negotiation doesn't do that unfortunately.

Also fixating on a framerate close to 15/2 is silly especially with usb2
cameras being more abundant. These can easily do around 30 fps on decent
resolutions (like the ones you want for videoconferencing), so just pick the
highest fps possible.
