           Summary: encodebin should defer setting up profiles to
                    state>NULL
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.x
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ensonic at sonicpulse.de
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


If one creates and encodebin and does a g_object_set(encbin, "profile",
profile, NULL); encodebin would immediately try to activate the profile (see
gst_encode_bin_set_profile()). If a profile cannot be setup, encodebin would
emit missing plugin messages. Now at this point it is not yet plugged in a
pipeline and thus the messages are send to void.

Should we document this or defer activating the profile to state>NULL?
