Well, your approach is better, see bug #595187.

The best would probably be, if gnonlin had some kind of global thread pool that
always has a thread or two around for dispatching things like this to other
threads.

The problem with using the default main context is (other than that you require
a mainloop running there), that the seeks and everything else could block the
application.

Why do you need a condition variable btw? To wait in the streaming thread for
the seek to be handled? That's likely causing deadlocks
