I think it would be nice if audioconvert could accept ac3 or AAC, DTS... and
convert to iec958, depending on sink's capability and user configurations,
 as the applications like totem or rhythmbox often prepend audioconvert
to the real sink element, and I guess that audioconvert is already able to
change its real src/sink caps depending on the caps of the sink.
