What do you want to do exactly? What's the big picture? Why do you need
to parse the data?

If you want to play something, use the playbin element (playbin2 in
0.10).

If you want to decode something, use the (uri)decodebin element
(decodebin2/uridecodebin in 0.10)

Also, you seem to be using GStreamer 0.10 still, which is ancient and
has been unmaintained for years now. You should upgrade to GStreamer 1.x
if possible at all.

Cheers
