The pipeline is correct in principle. You might want the audioresample
first and the audioconvert directly in front of wavenc though, because
wavenc only accepts little endian pcm audio, so your pipeline might not
work on big endian machines because audioresample only processes pcm
audio in native endianness. That isn't related to your problem though.

Decodebin2 works here because it uses multiqueue which handles buffering
more correctly and dynamically for certain files, whereas decodebin uses
more or less fixed size queues, which don't work for badly interleaved
files and many HD video files.

Recent versions of decodebin2 should work fine with all files, and I'm
not aware of any problems with it. If you have files that don't work
with it, please file a bug (or upgrade to a more recent gst-plugins-base
if you're not using the latest), thanks!

 Cheers
