The magic done by the flash player on youtube appears to be the following:

(http connection, port 80 on youtube.com):

GET
/s?ns=yt&plid=AARTAJaJjEefrYM0AAAAoAAgAAA&sourceid=ys&q=eldkvarn&vid=JwFOzEcFz7-FdWGcILUxzeZHUoU9A9wKU&docid=WiH7qimQLIA&el=detailpage&hbd=4248592&hbt=76.324&rt=0.135&nbe=1&len=230.034&st=69.695&et=69.695&fv=LNX%209%2C0%2C124%2C0
HTTP/1.1 

where:
 len = total length of stream in seconds
 st = seeking position in seconds
 et = seeking position in seconds
 hbt = current / last known position in stream?

The flash player is displaying a progress gadget, I it appears to stop as soon
as data is received.

I'd say that it is up to the plugin to send the seek queries. Totem itself
needs to add API to override seeking, eg let the plugin handle seeking itself
instead of using whatever GStreamer element is used.
