Hi,
the wildmidi element currently does not handle seeking correctly. First,
seeking does not work at all it seems and then the error reporting seems to be
a bit too hard:

    libWildMidi(WildMidi_Init:3707): ERROR Library not Initialized
    ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/midi
    ** Message: Error: A audio/midi decoder plugin is required to play
    this stream, but not installed.
    gstdecodebin.c(792): close_pad_link (): /play/decodebin1:
    No decoder to handle media type 'audio/midi'

    ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|audio/midi
       decoder|decoder-audio/midi (audio/midi decoder)
       ** Message: Automatic missing codec installation not supported (helper
          script missing)


So wildmidi should check for errors while seeking and handle them better (i.e.
plya from the current position instead of exploding) and then seeking should
made to work somehow ;)
