Yes.

You're extracting audio, redecoding it (??) and saving it to disk. This
will not work. You can do two things: either save as raw AAC, which
requires re-encoding since the AAC in .mov files is packetized, or save
it packetized in a new .mov container:

gst-launch filesrc location=file.mov ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! faac
outputformat=1 ! filesink location=file.aac

or

gst-launch filesrc location=file.mov ! qtdemux .audio_00 ! ffmux_mp4 !
filesink location=file.m4a

I've tested the second when I created the mp4 muxer, it works fine. The
first has always worked fine.
