playbin always decodes the audio fully, to raw PCM. So you probably
can't use it in your case.

It's not guaranteed to be entirely API-stable (properties, signals,
might change in future versions), but as far as code stability goes,
it's perfectly ok.

Some players do use it (e.g. Songbird, the player I work on, uses it
on windows, linux, and macos).
