The ffmpegcolorspace element should go before the capsfilter, so
ffmpegcolorspace can convert from whatever format there is on the decode
pad to the format you want.

Also, you'll need to do

 g_object_set (fakesink, "signal-handoffs", TRUE, NULL);

to actually get handoff signals. Also, you'll only get 'handoff' signals
in PLAYING state, so setting the pipeline to PAUSED isn't going to be
enough.
