In 0.8 you had to explicitely specify threads using { } braces, in 0.10
that is not required any longer (the queues are still required though):

gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=alien.mpg ! dvddemux name=demux
demux.current_video ! queue ! mpeg2dec ! ffmpegcolorspace !
autovideosink   demux.current_audio ! queue ! mad ! alsasink
