Sure, this is all doable, the design in GStreamer accommodates that at least to
some extent.

Fast forward can be done by sending a seek event with a 'rate' parameter > 1.0.
Whether this works/is honoured depends on the elements involved. Not all
elements support this properly at the moment, but those that don't should be
fairly easy to fix.

Fast backward playback is a bit trickier. Theoretically one should be able to
do the same as above just with a negative 'rate' parameter < -1.0. In practice,
there is not a single element supporting this yet though (AFAIK).

This document might also be of interest:

Resuming playback of a dvd/film where you stopped earlier is something that
should be (and can easily be) done on the application side, not in GStreamer.
