Before i write a bunch of code that we have to throw away in a few
months, can you give me some clue what the "correct" solution
should look like?

(i'm trying to find you on IRC but you're not there at the moment.)

i took a quick look at xvidenc & avimux this morning.  It looks like
avimux only needs a handful of caps (less than 10).  Should i just
add another branch in avimux to read the caps from xvid?  Or should
i harmonize the caps across the upstream elements (change xvid
to match v4l or somesuch)?
