This should even be supported with the latest releases of
gst-plugins-good/-bad even, no need to use versions from git. If you're

This is most likely the typefinder. You need the vorbisdec element from
gst-plugins-base to actually decode the audio. I'm surprised this isn't
installed on your system already.
