Description Victor Toso 2016-06-20 13:24:16 UTC 
It was recommended to me in the past [0] to use playbin as it easy to maintain in the long-term. It would also be possible to have software volume control in case the sink/src does not implement it, which is the case of alsa plugins [1]. One downside is a few more things elements to include in the windows build.

The request is from linux users that don't rely on PulseAudio
