Thanks for the follow-up. It smells like a bug somewhere, did you file
a bug report for this already? If not it would be great if you could
file one, especially if you have some sample code that can demonstrate
the issue. Thanks!

splitmuxsink was originally written for a setup where the caps don't
change on the fly, so it's well possible something doesn't work quite
right.
