Probably something along the lines of:

          GstCaps *filtercaps;
          gboolean  ret;

          filtercaps = gst_caps_new_simple ("video/x-raw-yuv",
                                            "width", G_TYPE_INT, 320,
                                            "height", G_TYPE_INT, 240,
                                            NULL);

          ret = gst_element_link_filtered (videoscale, xvsink, filtercaps);

          gst_caps_free (filtercaps);

          if (ret == FALSE)
               goto error_handling;
