need help transcoding audio only files

[Peter Quiring]

I'm having some success with GStreamer but having some difficulties with
audio only files.

If I transcode WMV to OGG it works.
But if I try to transcode MP3 to WAV it fails.

ERROR : encodebin says : Couldn't create encoder for format audio/x-wav
In my encoding profile I don't use a container, only an audio profile that
is set to the encodebin "profile" property.

And if I try and just decode MP3 to RAW it never starts and my appsink
blocks forever.  I don't see any WARN or ERRORs in this case.  But my
decoder works with WMV files fine.

The gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package is installed (ubuntu).

Here is my transcoder source (it's Java Native code).
I could post my decoder to RAW source if desired but it's basically half of
the transcoder but goes to an appsink instead of an encodebin/filesink.

The call I make to transcode MP3 to WAV is:

JNI.gst_transcoder(id, mp3filein, wavfileout, null, "audio/x-wav", null,
true);
//args = instance ID, fileinString,fileoutString, containerCodec,
audioCodec, videoCodec, startPlayingBoolean

//the instance ID is just an index into an array of structs holding info
related to GStreamer

struct insts {
  //instance vars
  GstElement *pipeline, *videosink, *appsink_audio, *appsink_video,
*filesrc, *filesink
    , *decoder, *encoder, *appsrc_audio, *appsrc_video, *alphacolor,
*imgenc, *imgdec
    , *alsasrc, *alsasink, *audioresample, *audioconvert;
  GstCaps *caps_audio, *caps_video;
  int wav_size;
  guint8 *wav_data;
  jmethodID method;
  jclass cls;
  jobject obj;
  int id;
  JavaVM *vm;
};

#define instcnt 32

struct insts inst[instcnt];

           GstPad     *pad,
           gpointer    data)
{
  GstCaps *caps;
  GstStructure *str;
  GstPad *audiopad, *videopad;
  struct insts *inst = (struct insts*)data;

  /* check media type */
  caps = gst_pad_get_caps(pad);
  str = gst_caps_get_structure(caps, 0);
  if (g_strrstr(gst_structure_get_name(str), "audio")) {
    /* only link once */
    audiopad = gst_element_get_request_pad(inst->encoder, "audio_%d");
    if (GST_PAD_IS_LINKED (audiopad)) {
      printf("pad already linked");
      g_object_unref(audiopad);
      return;
    }
    gst_caps_unref(caps);
    gst_pad_link(pad, audiopad);
    return;
  }
  if (g_strrstr(gst_structure_get_name(str), "video")) {
    /* only link once */
    videopad = gst_element_get_request_pad(inst->encoder, "video_%d");
