Unable to seek audio files with playbin2; manual seek also broken in plugins-good-0.10.31

One update: I determined that with the new version, this pipeline works:
gst-launch filesrc location=/media/Honesty.aac ! aacparse !
custom_audio_decoder_and_sink
i.e. no demux, but yes parser.
Is this as expected?
This leaves the remaining question: Is there a way to nudge playbin2 into
inserting the parser *instead* of the id3demux element?
Thanks,
Eric
