           Summary: encoder: Baseclass calls propose_allocation() before
                    set_format()
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.11.x
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

This was introduce during porting
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680614.

The downside is that it makes it counter intuitive, as propose_allocation()
should happen after set_format(). To implement propose_allocation(), encoder
have to get the caps from the pad, and then most likely parse these caps into
GstVideoInfo structure. Without this patch, it would simply have cached the
input_state, and read the information from there.

I do think this is in the ABI now, but would at least be nice to revisit for
2.0.
