           Summary: Encodebin should somehow let you know how many streams
                    the container will accept
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.x

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Since some formats like FLV only accepts 1 audio and video stream it would be
good if Encodebin could somehow let you know about this programatically. Like
some kind of query API. (encodebin.max_audio_streams() ?) 

Because currently you need to dig out the muxer element from encodebin to
discover this, which I feel reduces the point of Encodebin a lot (if you have
to add a lot of code to dig out various elements to do further
checking/testing.
