Also, the exact source I am using is:

require 'gst'

Gst.init
unless ARGV.length == 1
  $stderr.puts "Usage: #{__FILE__} <mp3 filename>"
  exit 1
end

# create a new pipeline to hold the elements
pipeline = Gst::Pipeline.new

# create a disk reader
filesrc = Gst::ElementFactory.make("filesrc")
filesrc.location = ARGV.last
puts "Using file "+ARGV.last

# now it's time to get the decoder
decoder = Gst::ElementFactory.make("spider")

# and an audio sink
audiosink = Gst::ElementFactory.make("alsasink")

# add objects to the main pipeline
puts filesrc, decoder, audiosink, pipeline
pipeline.add(filesrc, decoder, audiosink)

# link elements
filesrc >> decoder >> audiosink

# start playing
pipeline.play

while pipeline.iterate do end

# stop the pipeline
pipeline.stop

puts "all done"



And I am calling it with:
ruby gst_test.rb glyn.mp3
