What's the state of this bug?

Wim, the second patch (for gstpad.c) looks very useful to me and should
probably committed. It would finally allow to use queries in PERCENT format.

For the BYTES queries I don't think it's a good idea to a) forward them
upstream in oggdemux (upstream doesn't know the bytes of a single stream inside
the ogg container) and b) we can't/shouldn't do estimations inside gstpad.c
because everything currently assumes that BYTES queries return accurate
results.

It might make sense to add a "accuracy" field to the position/duration queries
though to get around this.
