The only sink that ever did conversion was esdsink.  That was removed
because it was a bug.

Um, no, it doesn't make more sense.  You can just as easily turn it
around and say "if all sinks need audioconvert ! audioscale, it makes
more sense to put them in the application."

And, in reality, that statement is more true for audio sinks than for
applications.  Not _all_ apps need audioconvert and audioscale,
particularly those that use spider.
