 offset field is currently updated when creating a subbuffer but any
 plugin can change it afterwards. Should we still update the offset
 field or let the plugin update it?

 Ronald, yes, sorry, your code is right. I was confused :)

+The offset field needs to be initialized to an INVALID value when 
+creating/copying a buffer.
+You may initialize it to the same value as the original buffer in the 
+special case where a subbuffers starts at the beginning of its parent.
+
+And if we do a media specific offset field (I still like bytes more) 
+we need to define what offset we use for every media format.
+That would require getting caps docs going.
+
+Another thing: Would it make sense to restrict events (seek, discont) 
+and buffers to 3 formats (TIME, BYTE, media-specific aka UNITS) and 
+allow getting other formats only by querying pads/elements?
