I'm going to close this bug because it's not a bug. You're doing a seek while the pipeline is in the NULL state, which will definitely not work.

If you want a seek to work, you need to wait for the pipeline to be in the PAUSED or PLAYING state.

Also, when looking at your seek event, you are doing a seek in GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT from 1 to 10. I don't think DEFAULT has any correlation in the audio world.
Maybe you wanted to do a seek in GST_FORMAT_TIME fro 1 * GST_SECOND to 10 * GST_SECOND.

DEFAULT means samples/frames for audio streams, but I wouldn't count on it being supported across the board. TIME format is usually much better supported.
