Well sure, you can always construct stuff that won't work. That's just how it
is with RTP without external signalling, where you just send packets into a
hole and hope and pray.

If there is indeed an encoder (and no particular profile/level is configured
for output), it should negotiate based on the order of the caps structures
returned by the get_caps(), so in this case to something baseline-ish. If it
doesn't do that, the encoder is either broken or configured to do something
else.

I don't think we can just suddenly require people to add capsfilters after the
payloader now where it wasn't required before, and it seems a bit broken in
principle too.

Perhaps I'm still missing something, but I can't say I see why my suggestion
isn't workable and wouldn't solve the problem for the most part in practice.
