So this is *your* aacparse as well and not GStreamer's, right?

It sees unlikely that the event has suddenly changed in between those
two debug lines. More likely a programming / event parsing / debug log
printing error in your aac decoder code.

This is the actual error though. It means you either forgot to put caps
on the buffers you are pushing out, or you put caps on it that are
incompatible with the element downstream of your decoder.
