I see, and gstreamer had a quirk for such a bogus response. Let me explain why
its bogus, for the general knowlege. A driver that supports ENUM_FRAMESIZE but
does not return any sizes, is in theory a driver that does not support anything.
Fortunaly, GStreamer considered not having a single framesize bogus, and would
fallback to the old school try_fmt() dance to find the supported sizes.

So yes, it used to work in gstreamer, and its indeed
79c987de8b35421a2a975982929f150dd415f8f7 that broke it. I'll correct his in V2.

So I'll respin along these line to we more or less "revert back" to working
state. Though having a framesize enumeration on encoder raw (OUTPUT queue) is
what makes most sense so that will have to be revisited with a corrected
mechanism, as whenever we add VP8 and H.264 encoding, we'll need different range
per codec. I'll check in January with my colleague, we might do that inside the
VP8 encoder branch (that is nearly ready and will be sent after the holidays),
or could be an intermediate set.

Nicolas
