I'd like to add that there are soundcards that do MP3 or AC3 natively. Putting 
audioconvert and/or audioscale in between does not allow pushing that data to 
the soundcard directly.

The correct fix for this would be to create a real audiotestsrc that supports 
close to any format (like videotestsrc) and not to use sinesrc, which just 
does 44100kHz/1channel/S16 output.
