Here you're downloading .aac files used on windows platforms.

Here you're copying in a folder containing .ogg files used on linux platforms.

The extension must match. On linux you have to use .ogg, on window .acc

This error indicates a broken gstreamer installation. You often get this message if you mix up 
gstreamer 0.10 with gstreamer 1.0.

Loading of the files seems to work.

Then I guess your problem is your gstreamer installation.

Most Qt5 installations (Qt installer, probably most stable distros) still use gstreamer 0.10, 
therefore you should check that your gstreamer 0.10 stack is complete.

appsrc is in the gst-plugins-base package.
