Yes.  There are a bunch of typefind elements for exactly this purpose.
 Also, Banshee just uses the playbin element, one of Gstreamer's
auto-plugging bins.

Not that I know of.

The sink caps on faad say that it supports audio/mpeg version 4 (and
2, but that's not interesting).  I'm not sure why it wouldn't be
getting autoplugged.

Does running "gst-launch0.10 playbin
uri=file:///path/to/your/file.mp4" play the file correctly?  You can
add the '-v' parameter to make the playbin output what elements it's
using to decode.
