What was actually wrong:

In theory, it is OK for a pull source to return smaller or larger buffers than
was requested from _create, and most code handles this. However, few pull
sources except Opera's seem to do this, so in practice it isn't very well
tested and this is the second bug that turned out to be caused by it.

In this case, it is gst_riff_read_chunk that assumes that a short read implies
EOS, so decoding simply failed.

I'm not sure if I should file a bug on gst_riff_read_chunk or not, I have
instead changed Opera so that _create never returns short buffers except at
EOS.
