One possibility already mentioned by Eric is to connect to the
notify::source signal and set up the source in the callback. This is the
recommended way of configuring playbin sources (also for things like
"device" properties and the like).

In your case you could also just set the http_proxy environment variable
(g_set_env) - if you're lucky souphttpsrc will take that into account
and configure itself accordingly.
