Right, sorry for the delay. Replying to your explanation below:

Yes, you're right, now I see how this can happen. But there's also another 
possibility: if S_FMT fails priv->scale will be set to NULL. If you then 
directly start streaming wouldn't the same problem arise? Or is it valid 
to fail STREAMON after a failed S_FMT? If it is, then of course

If that's invalid, then maybe a more extensive fix is needed?
