An upstream element can make filesink seek to a specific offset by
sending a newsegment event in GST_FORMAT_BYTES with the new offset as
start. That works as far as I know - flacenc uses it for example to seek
back and fill the header with the number of samples actually written
(which might be a problem for muxers of course, but that's a different
story).

Or did you mean something else?
