Try it with videoparse from gst-plugin-bad:

gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=test.yuv ! videoparse format=I420
width=x height=y framerate=a/b pixel-aspect-ratio=c/d ! xvimagesink

And then replace x, y, a, b, c, and d with the appropiate values.

The problem with your pipeline is, that a) xvimagesink doesn't know what
it gets (i.e. gets no useful caps but only ANY caps) and b) filesrc
doesn't output one frame at the same time (can be fixed with the
blocksize parameter). videoparse does all this for you.
