autoaudiosink picks what element to use based on rank, but most of the audio
sink elements are all PRIMARY, so it's undeterministic what will be used. It
seems that for example debian patches pulsesink to PRIMARY+10, probably because
of this. So we might want to think about how all this should work exactly.
Other autodetect elements might have similar ponderings as well.

This became a topic to me due to totem git now using autoaudiosink for playbin2
audio-sink property, instead of gconf or gsettings audiosink, which might want
to be revised by totem separately eventually before 3.2 release.
