Yes, in theory it can also reconfigure at runtime but that is rather
tricky because upstream renegotiation/reconfiguration is asynchronous
and mostly a hint. You are not guaranteed to get what you want
downstream, especially not immediately.

It does, yes :) I think the best for this would be to override the
activatemode or activate function on the srcpad of the bin here, and in
there do a CAPS query downstream to then decide on which internal
elements to build.
