Use playbin for audio decoding

Description
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.
