Very unlikely; you can test with gst-launch-0.8 -v to see what format is
negotiated between your elements. Your decoder may not be setting a
correct 'format' property in the caps that it sets on the pads, though,
like Jan said. Can you show your decoder code?

It may be random at times, but the format decision is still always
correct.
