Also occurs w/ osssink.

Here's the commands I used:
dannf at krebs:~$ gst-launch filesrc location=/space/audio/mp3/Orange\ Glass/saturn_and_the_moon.mp3 ! mad ! alsasink
dannf at krebs:~$ gst-launch filesrc location=/space/audio/flac/Tegan_And_Sara/If_It_Was_You/13-Tegan_And_Sara-Come_On_Kids_\(Bonus_Track\).flac ! flacdec ! osssink
dannf at krebs:~$ gst-launch filesrc location=/space/audio/flac/Tegan_And_Sara/If_It_Was_You/13-Tegan_And_Sara-Come_On_Kids_\(Bonus_Track\).flac ! flacdec ! alsasink
