Description Philippe Normand 2010-07-01 16:13:43 UTC 
Using alsasink and try to play http://trailers.apple.com/movies/paramount/ironman2/ironman2-z7r459g-tlr1_480p.mov

I don't hear the voices, only the music.
Comment 1 Philippe Normand 2010-07-01 16:31:28 UTC 
As suggested by Tim, setting playbin2 audio-sink to audio-sink="capsfilter caps=audio/x-raw-int,channels=2 ! alsasink" fixes the issue...

So maybe something went wrong in my ALSA setup, not sure.
Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2010-07-01 17:12:33 UTC 
Yes, that's most likely an issue with your alsa or pulseaudio setup, especially if downmixing by GStreamer works (which means that otherwise you get the 5.1 channels directly passed to your soundcard).
