If we have caps then we can only set exactly those caps, if we have no
caps yet then negotiating anything is not very meaningful because the
caps are defined by the application and not downstream.
Avoids, among other things, an unnecessary allocation query and spurious
useless caps being set before the first buffer.

The documentation could be read to mean that the caller continuous to
'own' the buffer, and that there is some other mechanism to find out
when to unref it.
Clarify that "not taking ownership" here means "taking a reference",
and specify that you can unref it at any time after calling the
function.
