[Bug 760590] query: recursive accept-caps query

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760590

--- Comment #5 from Sebastian Dröge (slomo) <slomo at coaxion.net> ---
(which is also why I still think it was a bad idea to add this behaviour, it
seems inconsistent)

getcaps is always giving you all possible caps, but then if you intersect with
those caps you will have a different behaviour than if checking for a subset.
And at this point you can't know if (and which of the) pads downstream are
using that flag and which not and can't really reconstruct that anymore.


I would probably add the recursive accept-caps query as a separate, new query
and would let it do what the default accept-caps query handling currently is
doing.
