Add queue elements after your demuxer, one for audio and one for the
video part.  The problem you face is that when the first sink has enough
data, it blocks while waiting for the pipeline to go from PAUSED to the
PLAYING state.  This makes the demuxer block while trying to push more
data into the first sink, which keeps it from pushing any more data --
in particular to the second sink.  Therefore, the second sink never gets
enough data to reach the PAUSED state (finish "preroll"), which is why
playing can never start.

Adding a queue solves this problem because it adds an additional thread,
which decouples the data flow.
