Hello,

   I haven't read this thread, however it seems that more often than not 
when going from a gst-launch command to code to create a pipeline the 
most common mistake is to try linking a decoder to the rest of the 
pipeline. The issue here is that prior to the decoder getting some data, 
it doesn't know how many streams it contains (a file could have multiple 
audio streams for one video for example). So you have to use the 
'pad-added' signals to dynamically link things once everything is ready. 
If you google for the gstreamer hello world example it has an example of 
doing just that. Hopefully that helps if this is the issue, otherwise 
feel free to disregard this message...
