Upstream caps might for example be
application/x-rtp,media=audio,encoding-name={OPUS, X-GST-OPUS-DRAFT-SPITTKA-00, multiopus}
and while that is not fixed caps it is enough to match it with a media.
Only caps structures that have the correct structure name and that have
the media and encoding-name field are preserved, but if both are present
then these caps are used as "codec preferences".

.. if a current direction has already been set
When `webrtcbin` has created an offer based on codec_preferences,
it might not have received caps on its sinkpads by the time a
remote description is set, in which case we want to connect the
input stream upon actual reception of the caps instead.
