> got file duration: -1

That's odd, and SoundConverter doesn't seem to handle the -1 value (there are examples which simply ignore it), but here a duration of -1 is not enough to reproduce a truncated conversion.

Are you able to cut'n'paste the following into a terminal in order to run GStreamer conversion at the command-line? Not inserting any type mistakes would be important, as well as working with an input file that exists, and after a few seconds (at most) the output should be in file "test.ogg" in your home dir. Adjust the two input/output file paths as necessary.
