 So, yes, this is a very useful feature that we want to keep, makes a
 lot of sense, and no, it isn't a gst_element_error at all, in fact all
 other plugins need to be fixed in similar ways.

 I missed the whole discussion then... Use fakesink.

+no, you really did miss the discussion :)

+It's already decided that it should work with the decoder not
+connected,  this patch is a matter of implementing that for flacdec,
+just as it has been implemented for mad and vorbisfile.
+
+It's pretty simple; fakesink would still be decoding the input stream
+to raw audio, while an unconnected decoder doesn't decode (or tries to
+avoid it as much as possible).
+
+So, no, no fakesink.
