I am experiencing the same. Sound work just fine if a use "gst-launch filesrc
location=someflacfile.flac ! flacdec ! pulsesink", and GNOME system sounds  work
just fine too.

If I open Rhythmbox (or Totem) and start playing, everything appear to be ok,
but the application does not show up in the Pulseaudio Volume Control and no
sound is coming out of the speaker.
