Try inserting a typefind between your appsrc and the decoder, and also
a h264parse after the typefind and before the decoder. The need for
them completely depends on what kind of data and how you provide to the
appsrc.

What format and how are you providing it to appsrc? h264 byte-stream or
avc? Properly parsed into NAL units or AUs per buffer or just random
chunks of bytes?

If there is a "problem" at all, maybe this are just the inherent
limitations of the stream.
