See comments on other patch. This cannot be required.

A problem I noted with my testing is that if the server is not using
msdk encoder this pipeline is failing to decode. Probably this is due
to an unsupported level, possibly x264 is using some not supported
format. The problem is that without having the first frame data we
cannot know if the pipeline is supporting or not. Probably the better
option would be to create another pipeline if we failed handling first
compressed data. A future possibility would be to send more encoder
information opening the stream so we could avoid trying some pipeline.

x264 (ok, this is a bit OT here).

I don't remember which side (server or client) but it seems destroying
the pipeline gstreamer is giving some CRITICAL messages about the
order of object destructions.
