The above missed demuxers and decoders. You need to fully transcode it.

gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=in.wav ! decodebin2 ! waveenc ! filesink=out.wav

but even then I am not sure if it will work as imho its the audiosinks that
resample.

Regarding seeking and gst-launch - no way. gst-launch is not meant for this. You
need to write a small app.
