You didn't read the rest of my post...

A better way to do this would be to redo capsnego directly with a
chained caps from the ximagesink plugin: it sends back a chained caps
where the first one is the caps with the new size (wanted), and the
second is the current one. Problem here is - currently - that this will
only work if the videoscale plugin is directly connected to ximagesink.
If there's plugins in between, e.g. a fps-changer, it won't work. If
someone knows of a way to fix this: I prefer this method. ;).

In other words: won't work. Please make it work and I'll happily use
this.
