Right now it does the "minimum" of the profile in the property and the caps.
The property defaults to main. Maybe it should default to High or even None. I
didn't change that as it would be an API change..

It limits the size according to the level in setcaps and reject any incoming
stream that does not meet these limits. BUT, I haven't found a good way to
express limits in macroblocks/frame and macroblocks/second in video/x-raw-yuv
caps, so right now if you try to send something above the level, it will just
error out with not-negotiated.
