Where did you get the audio/x-mp3-unknown caps from? If you want to be
compatible with other parts of GStreamer, like the typefinders, you
can't just make up new media types (unless you also register some
corresponding typefinder of your own as well).

Have a look at one of the existing mp3 decoders/parsers (mad,
mp3parse/mpegaudioparse) for the right caps.
