Known. Reason is simple: capsnego sucks.

Long version:

when a chained ogg finishes, it receives EOS and its pad is destroyed. Playbin
will attach a fakesrc to it (so it doesn't hang or so; not sure) which
renegotiates and emits an EOS. This renegotiates with the pipeline
(queue!audioconvert!audioscale!volume!audiosink) and gets to 3, 4, 5 or so
channels for some unknown reason. Fixation definately is wrong here, but that's
besides the point. Then it starts fixating channels and randomly sets values for
it. This is obviously wrong, it'll fixate each to the first value (0, which is
mono). This tries to negotiate with audioconvert which fails because it's not a
valid channel configuration (which the above warning implies; a g_warning() is
appropriate here).

We need either to save caps or to re-apply the caps preference patch from Dave
to fix this. I can't fix this.
