$ gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
=> Sound comes from my speakers

totem /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
=> No sound comes from my speakers, error message in totem UI: "This file cannot be played over the network. Try downloading it locally first."

GST_DEBUG=5 output attached

Commenting out the custom audiosink definition (bacon-video-widget.c:6176) fixes the issue for all kind of media files.
