We could implement seeking in READY/NULL the following way:
- Elements that can seek will store any seek event they get before PAUSED and
will automatically handle that seek event before the pre-roll
- GstBin will cache the last seek event and will send it to all elements
(including elements that are added later) until the state change to PAUSED is
finished (and will then remove the cached seek event)

The first part is already implemented in some demuxer, e.g. qtdemux.
