If you're targetting 0.9/0.10, you should really work from CVS HEAD, or
at least install the latest released development version, which in this
case is 0.9.3 of all of the above modules (there is also a
gst-plugins-bad module, btw).

So what type of audio stream does the AVI contain? Is the file available
somehwere?

Try passing the -v flag to gst-launch for some more information.

  gst-launch-0.9 playbin uri=file:///path/foo.avi --gst-debug=avidemux:5
2>&1 | grep 'Added pad' 

should also show what the media types in the AVI file are.
