What about the H.264 encoder is beyond the capabilities of v4l2src? I
use v4l2src with a Hauppauge HD PVR capture card that delivers H.264 in
MPEG-TS, and I use a pipeline like v4l2src ! mpgetsdemux ! decodebin2.

Is it that the Sensory SDK allows you to configure the device's encoding
parameters, and v4l2src doesn't allow you to do that?

I only ask out of curiosity; I don't actually know that much about v4l.

"Sensory" is a rather hard name to google for. Do you have a link to
their website?
