Acutally it *is* that easy... if I don't set the caps property of
decodebin2.

So I guess, I'm mis-setting the property somehow. Would be nice, if
somebody could check the attached code and point me to my mistake.

Would be nice to have decodebin2 automagically divert non-audio streams to
a fakesink ;)
