You can find patches to change this here:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~slomo/gst-plugins-base/log/?h=decodebin-setcaps

This was added as part of bug #680614, but only really makes sense for encoder
base classes. And not even there IMHO.

For 1.6 I'd like to change that at least for the decoder base classes. Among
other things it allows negotiation to happen faster and makes the code less
convoluted.


The encoders will be tracked in a separate bug.
