Isn't it cleaner from an API to require the SPS at (2), right before
G_FMT on CAPTURE?
Unless you think it has clear advantages to provide more flexibility
to the user, i.e. it will allow to support specific use-cases,
then I would avoid making this flexible.
The spec currently doesn mention step 2 as being optional, although
there is a note mentioning controls can be overwritten.
