This lets me think that you cannot play audio via pulse audio. The two
working test cases were using the alsasink element. Check in your user
if a daemon pulsed or anything related is running. Kill them and try
to play a file again (with gst-launch which makes debugging easier).

If it works fine without pulse audio, I suggest you uninstall it.
