Encodebin always looks for an exact match at the moment.

For qtmux we've added video/quicktime and video/quicktime, variant=xyz to the
template caps (to support what's described below).

However, I think the solution is to make encodebin a bit smarter here, for the
following reason: to support transmuxing/transcoding into the same container,
an application might want to / need to set the container caps to encode to from
the typefind/discoverer caps. These are either video/x-ms-asf (currently) or
video/x-ms-asf,parsed=false (more correct if we start with parsed fields on asf
caps). Now, video/x-ms-asf,parsed=false is not something asfmux will ever
output, so encodebin needs to be smarter about these things.
