 I fixed a typefinding bug (audio/au instead of audio/x-au as
 mimetype). Currently, spider doesn't detect that it needs alawdec in
 between auparse (detected) and osssink.
 
 filesrc ! spider ! alawdec ! osssink works.

+That's because spider is stupid.
+It assumes it can plug auparse and osssink directly (since their caps
+are compatible) and does that, which is wrong.
+
+Same thing happens when you try to play an mp3-in-wav file with spider.
+I think that it's not easy to fix, unfortunately.
