DSD files cannot be played from the network
Attempting to play DSD files through souphttpsrc does not work and fails with an "Internal data stream error". It fails for a manually constructed pipeline as well as for pipelines constructed by playbin3.
None of the commands below work:
$ gst-launch-1.0 souphttpsrc location='http://www.lindberg.no/hires/test/2L-056_04_stereo_DSD64.dsf' ! avdemux_dsf ! avdec_dsd_lsbf_planar ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! pulsesink
