Your assumption is correct regarding how you should use playbin2. If you
have some issues with specific files (where it works with playbin but
not with playbin2) please file a bug. Before that you might also want to
test playbin2 from a more recent release (0.10.21 or 0.10.20) where your
issues might have been fixed.

Currently more files/streams play correctly with playbin2 than with
playbin.
