[Bug 760242] rtmpsink: should get streamheaders from caps instead of first buffer.

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

Well if the streamheader is not set in the caps there are a lot more plugins
that will break like multifdsink right ?

The whole concept of the streamheaders is so that you can start a new
connection while the element has been running for a while and have all the
necessary pieces to start decoding.

My use case here is that I have a FLV muxer running and connected with a
rtmpsink. At some point I need to remove/add the sink as something has changed.
The current implementation fails as it is not sending the headers at all (just
concatenating the 2 first buffers).

The only way to maintain the current behaviour while implementing streamheaders
would be to look at the buffers timestamps / offsets to figure if the first
buffer is actually the first buffer produced by the upstream muxer or not but
that's hackish :)
