I don't know what you miss, states are set using using
gst_element_set_state, and you already seem to know this because you use
it just fine.  To elaborate a little bit: The problem you face in your
program is how you call your "record" function.  Apparently it is called
at some point where the sink is in the PLAYING or PAUSED state.  To fix
this, you could unconditionally set the sink's state to READY before
setting the location:

void record (char *file)
{
  gst_element_set_state (sink, GST_STATE_READY);
  g_object_set (G_OBJECT (sink), "location", file, NULL);
  gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
}

That should make the error go away.
