This appears to be because spider decides that user_data is an
audio pad, and connects it to the audio sink.  Once this is done,
the core attempts to negotiate some format, regardless of the
fact that it makes no sense.

I don't really what to do with it.  Perhaps spider could be a
bit smarter about connecting ANY pads.
