Joshua was refactoring all that, I'll look later tonight

Yes there is a problem there, I was looking at "typefind" to see if we  
could decide what type of file it is, but
that might require a plugin change in order to get the CAPS element  
back.  I was also trying to see if you
could resolve pipeline setup as always both setup with audio/video and  
work with that, but haven't gotten
around to testing it, however you are welcome to try. In this case you  
could ask the elments for attribute data to see
if there are frames, or audio?
