I have fixed this in current CVS. A recent commit that does float to int 
conversions in audioconvert had some issues. Spider (and therefore Rhythmbox) 
use audioconvert internally.
Thanks for noticing.

It should also produce an error that vorbisdec and osssink can't connect. 
vorbisdec outputs float audio only while osssink only accepts int audio. At 
least if I remember that correctly.
Alsasink does float, so it works as it should.
