Hack to make the test case pass via gst-launch.

Hi Jiří and thanks for your response! I have to admit I didn't notice the
difference between the bug initially reported under gst 1.0 and this one in gst
1.2! Thanks for clarifying that there was a window of success in 1.1! :)

I added a hideous hack to gst to make it play the test data fine, and
gst-launch will now play it fine, but sadly using it in a real example (i.e.
for Google Music via nuvola) it seems to trigger more code paths in GST that
cause it not to be detected as working. I think one of the code paths is
returning the duration of the track (I'm only guessing, but perhaps the Google
Music side double checks that the HTML5 media support returns the proper track
duration?).

Anyway, attached is my (horrible, horrible) hack to make it play the test case!
Please don't judge me Tim (I've already pre-marked it as rejected!!) :p
