Well, that was really something trivial. It was just needed to set 'sync'
property to TRUE for dspmp3sink element and gst_element_query position() 
function starts working! :-)

Well, I was almost sure that I tried this 'sync' property at an early stage of
experimenting so it took so long to try it again and figure out that it
actually works. I wish somebody with more gstreamer knowledge could 
provide me with some hint, that would save really a lot of my time doing 
some silly experiments trying to find a reliable way to estimate this sound
delay :-)

On a positive side, mplayer with a better gstreamer sound output support with
proper audio/video sync will be available really soon.
