Does it works with alsasink ?

Sorry it was the line for the new gstreamer0.8.

The correct line is "gst-launch gnomevfssrc location=3D/path/to/my/
musicfile.ogg ! spider ! volume ! $(gconftool-2 -g /system/gstreamer/
default/audiosink)"

The problem is that the testing version is outdated and bugged and the
new 0.8 branch fixes a lot of issue. BTW without few days 0.8 will be in
testing.
