Are you suggesting that audioconvert ! audioscale be added before
the output sink in every application, including gstreamer-properties,
or that should be added to the GConf key 
/system/gstreamer/0.7/default/audiosink (which gstreamer-properties sets)
so that gst-gconf constructs the pipeline with audioconvert ! audioscale 
already added?

If the latter, then presumably it should be changed in 
gst-plugins/gconf/gstreamer.schemas.in as well.  Or do I misunderstand?
