depending application I ever encountered provided a way to set its audio
output to jack, or change any other audio option for that matter.
Sorry for misunderstanding what you were looking for. I answered the
easy part of the question :-) . I'm not sure how it would be done w/o
gconf because you'd need a mechanism to specify which alsa source or
sink you'll be using.
To get this capability, you need to install the appropriate alsa
plugin for jack: alsa-plugins-jack; then use jackaudiosink instead of
alsasink, pulsesink, etc in your gstreamer config. See

for details ("How to: Use Jack for GStreamer output (so you can EQ
banshee/rhythmbox w/Jack-Rack!)")
ANd here's the plugin you need to make it all work:
Name : alsa-plugins-jack
Summary : Jack PCM output plugin for ALSA
URL : http://www.alsa-project.org/
License : LGPLv2+
Description : This plugin converts the ALSA API over JACK (Jack Audio Connection
: Kit, http://jackit.sf.net) API. ALSA native applications can work
: transparently together with jackd for both playback and capture.
: This plugin provides the PCM type "jack"
