Description Mathieu Duponchelle 2014-07-01 18:21:14 UTC 
Right now, seeking elements doesn't do anything until source pads are exposed. It would be nice to have a generic way to seek elements even in the NULL state, or at least in the READY state.

My idea was:

gst_element_seek_simple:
    if not srcpads: store_segment, call vmethod set_initial_segment

gst_bin_set_initial_segment:
    STATE_LOCK(bin);
    iterate_elements and gst_element_seek (them);
    STATE_UNLOCK(bin);

then in the various demuxers, call gst_element_get_initial_segment and seek there immediately if possible.

Any thoughts?
