It would look something like the following (untested), which you would
run when you are on the playlist you wanted to save. This version would
have the side effect of making the saved playlist current, so perhaps a
better version would save and restore the current playlist:

(defun emms-playlist-save-buffer (format file)
  (interactive (list (emms-source-playlist-read-format)
                     (read-file-name "Store as: "
                                     emms-source-file-default-directory
                                     emms-source-file-default-directory
                                     nil)))
  (emms-playlist-set-playlist-buffer)
  (emms-playlist-save format file))
