alawdec is a decoder element, and it needs to know what the input caps
are in order to interpret and process the data properly. filesrc will
not set any caps whatsoever on the buffers, it will just read them and
push them downstream.

If alaw was a typefindable format, you could just add a 'typefind'
element between filesrc and alwadec, but it's not typefindable.

>From the filename I would guess that the file is in fact a WAV file,
which means you need to use a 'wavparse' element before the decoder, so
try e.g.:

 filesrc location=foo.wav ! wavparse ! alawdec ! audioconvert !
autoaudiosink

but you could also just use playbin2 or decodebin2:

 playbin2 uri=file:///path/to/foo.wav

 filesrc location=foo.wav ! decodebin2 ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink
