If you're after the current playback position, do a position query on
the pipeline/playbin once the pipeline is prerolled (i.e. you got an
ASYNC_DONE message on the bus). However, often there may be some more
buffering going on after the source as well. Why do you need to know the
size of this queue in time?

PS: you should probably use playbin2 instead of plabin
