Can you report a bug in Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.gnome.org against
GStreamer and provide a standalone testcase there? There were some
changes in the caps handling of appsrc, but all those changes are
supposed to be backwards compatible. What worked in 1.4 has to still
work in 1.5/1.6, otherwise that's a bug.
