Have you looked at code in jackaudiosink? It has reasonable defaults. Also,
if you need more fine grained control over scheduling and synchronization,
your plugin should be derived from GstBaseAudioSink rather than GstAudioSink
(see section 20.1 of the plugin writer's guide:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/pwg/html/chapter-other-base.html#section-base-sink).
I'm not familiar enough with OpenAL to know if this is really necessary.

Good luck, this would be a welcome addition to gstreamer.
