  GStreamer | gst-plugins-good | Ver: git
           Summary: souphttpsrc should set caps for "audio/L16" mime_type
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: zeeshanak at gnome.org
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


If an http server streams raw audio as described in RFC 2586[1], a decodebin2
element connected after souphttpsrc in a pipeline is unable to guess the type
of media being streamed. This could be solved by adding special support for
"audio/L16" mimetype: it should set the caps appropriately on the outgoing
buffer(s) once it detects the said mimetype.

Will provide a patch soon since this is very important in UPnP/DLNA world where
I live now a days. :)
