This is still a problem in Lubuntu 16.04. gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio is installed by default (presumably following Ubuntu), gstreamer1.0-alsa is not.
'sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-alsa' fixes the problem. Gstreamer apps such as banshee now output audio instead of silence.
I will file a bug against lubuntu-desktop and reference this bug.
