id3demux and mad can't be linked, because the caps are incompatible in
this case. There's also an APE tag in addition to the two ID3 tags, so
id3demux creates a pad with application/x-apetag caps. The pipeline for
this particular file needs to look like this:

 filesrc location=01Jhoom.mp3 ! id3demux ! apedemux ! mad !
audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink

You should use decodebin to avoid these kind of problems.

 filesrc location=01Jhoom.mp3 ! decodebin ! audioconvert !
audioresample ! alsasink
