What version is this with? Have you tried with git master?

I suspect what's happening is that rtph264depay/h264parse first output
incomplete caps (without width/height) and only add them later. Possibly
matroskamux also wants a framerate in the caps which it won't get here.

Why are you forcing the depayloader to output alignment=nal btw?
rtph264depay ! h264parse ! matroskamux  should negotiate the right
format automatically. rtph264depay can output AVC.

You might also want an rtpjitterbuffer before the depayloader btw.

Cheers
