Comment:

 I'm going w/ "no".  The only place gst's v4l2src actually _uses_
 use_fixed_fps is in gst_v4l2src_create:

 {{{
   if (v4l2src->use_fixed_fps
       && gst_v4l2src_get_fps (v4l2src, &fps_n, &fps_d) == 0) {
     GST_ELEMENT_ERROR (v4l2src, RESOURCE, SETTINGS, (NULL),
         ("could not get frame rate for element"));
     return GST_FLOW_ERROR;
   }
 }}}

 It fills in fps_n and fps_d, and then proceeds to ignore those (local)
 variables.  So in effect, the only thing this does is check to make sure
 that gst can determine the framerate from the v4l2 device.

 CVS logs for gst-plugins-good back up my beliefs.  So, I'm closing this;
 we don't need use_fixed_fps.
