You can't afaik. The playbin is as automatic as possible. It just offers
playback of most media types gstreamer can handle. If you want finer grained
control you will have to assemble the pipeline yourself.
gst-inspect-0.10 playbin
tells me though that it has an audio-sink property which is set to NULL which
means it uses whatever the default specifies. I suppose you can override
that. Maybe not from gst-launch, but easily enough from within C code (the
audio-sink property takes an audiosink object, not a string)..
If you just run
gst-inspect-0.10
you get a list of plugins which includes a filesink.

I'm in no way a gstreamer expert though, so maybe it is possible to get that
info out of the playbin..
But the gst-launch-0.10 command can launch more complex pipelines, too
AH the guys in #gstreamer were nice enough to help me out with a pipeline that
writes into an audio file:
15:09 < MikeS> tapas: but maybe you actually want something more like
"gst-launch file:///path/to/some/media/file ! decodebin !
audioconvert ! audioresample !
"audio/x-raw-int,width=16,depth=16,channels=2,rate=44100" !
filesink location=out.raw
Which writes the audio stream of the media file (be it a movie or a soundfile)
to the out.raw file..
