Same here, I think elements should not be doing I/O from the seeking thread
(i.e. the application thread).

The TRUE/FALSE notification from the seek handler is not really useful in
practice anyway, and to check seekability in principle we now have the SEEKING
query anyway.

If notification is a concern, we could use PROGRESS message to notify the
application of start/success/error, though perhaps that's more interesting for
when we're bisecting in push mode or so.
