That's how it is supposed to work, unless your source activates in pull
mode. Then it can't send a CAPS event and typefind is also not asking
the upstream from which it pulls about the caps, so will typefind in any
case.

I think typefind should do a CAPS query in pull mode before trying to
guess caps. If it gets fixed caps it should just use those.
