Why Gstreamer change explicitly declared caps of appsrc in runtime?

[sarslan]

Hello,
I am trying to develop an application with using appsrc element of
Gstreamer.
Gstreamer pipeline is very simple:
*"appsrc caps=video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1280,height=720,framerate=30/1 !
filesink location=/home/sarslan/out.nv12"*

I insert NV12 frame to this pipeline but the output "out.nv12" file size is
0 bytes.
Because of this, I searched for gstreamer logs and here is the output:

*0:00:00.278040860 16433   0x7f70004b30 DEBUG                 appsrc

gstappsrc.c:688:gst_app_src_internal_get_caps:<appsrc0> caps: (NULL)

What I understand from this log is, the caps of the appsrc element changed
in runtime and this is the reason of why the output file is 0 bytes.

So, The first question is: Why gstreamer override my caps and set its own
caps in runtime ? And the second question is: How can I disable this
behaviour ?

Thanks.
