           Summary: basesrc no longer support non-flushing seeks on itself
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: opensolaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: thaytan at mad.scientist.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


It used to be possible to close the current segment and open a new one with a 
basesrc based element by sending a non-flushing seek to itself in the chain
method.

Since around 0.10.15, this deadlocks due to changes in basesrc internal locking
(it deadlocks on the live-lock) and makes it hard to implement a source element
that supports autonomous output of a sequence of seamless segments.
