Description Sjoerd Simons 2012-08-26 17:09:16 UTC 
In some conditions gst-ffmpeg tries to set caps to NULL, resulting in assertion failure:

** (lt-empathy-call:2145): CRITICAL **: gst_pad_set_caps: assertion `caps != NULL && gst_caps_is_fixed (caps)' failed

Attached patch simply removed the call, which most likely is the wrong thing to do, but makes the failure go away.

I think the patch is correct, I can't see a reason for setting it to NULL or anything else.
