Did you miss to attach new patch.
Any way, I took your initial patch, tuned it and pushed initial port to
master branch.

The original buffer size should not matter, if I got gst docs right,
only `offset` and `size` does matter

I compiled gst from git and got broken `autoaudiosink` behaviour. For
example

    gst-launch -v -m audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! autoaudiosink

fails with the same error as

    gst-launch-1.0 espeak text="Hello world" ! autoaudiosink

So, it seems to gst development code fails. I used another pipeline:

    gst-launch-1.0 espeak text="Hello world" ! wavenc ! filesink location=probe.wav
