The problem is that mad doesn't accept the seek event:
ERROR       gnlcomposition
gnlcomposition.c:1213:no_more_pads_object_cb:<timeline> Sending seek event
failed!

Which means that that source isn't set up properly for playing back in segment
mode. And what happens in the end is that it emits EOS (which is the normal
behaviour in non-segment mode).

The full reason for this is that the mad and fluendo mp3 decoder don't
implement seeking accurately. Here the seeking is requested before the decoder
can estimate the average bitrate, therefore can not do the time=>bytes
conversion which is needed to do an upstream seek in bytes.

I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug #308312 .
