Public bug reported:

When playing music using gstreamer & alsa, the cpu usage is higher then
expected compare to other configuration.

Step to reproduce : 
gst-launch filesrc location='any.mp3' ! mad ! audioconvert ! alsasink

With great help of gstreamer and alsa developers we manage to identify
the problem come from the dmix'ed default device in alsa. To completely
fix the problem, I add the following line in /etc/asound.conf

defaults.pcm.dmix.rate 44100

The result is starting from a 17% cpu usage to 3%.

The conclusion is Alsa are not using the right sample rate in dmix.
