I would recommend you use playbin2 instead of playbin.

Use the "audio-sink" property and set your element as that:

  GstElement *mysink;
  mysink = gst_element_factory_make ("mysink", NULL);
  g_object_set (playbin, "audio-sink", mysink, NULL);


With gst-launch you can do this *if* your version of GStreamer core is
sufficiently recent:

  gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///path/to/foo.mp3 audio-sink=mysink
