Stefan,

You are a godsend. If you look to the beginning of this thread, I listed 
the gstreamer packages I had installed. Of course, now, I note the 
glaring omission of gstreamer-plugins-bad. Installation of 
gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.3-3 gets us moving forward! Amazing how 
simple these things always seem once the solution is revealed by a 
wizard like yourself.


However, all is not yet well. The pipleine refuses to preroll, and 
hangs. I went back to your debuggging instructions, and tried the following:

GST_DEBUG="*:2" gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location="song.m4a" ! decodebin 
! fakesink


This responded with:

Does this have something to do with not being able to handle ALAC files? 
Clearly, m4a decoding is not working here. Once again, I attached a log 
file that was piped from the above command, but with debugging set to 
level 4, for review (errors begin around line 7811). I really appreciate 
your help!
