The objective of the patch was allowing gsturidownloader (used by dashdemux) to
fetch only the range of the file that was defined by the dash fragment. So
doing this operation in READY isn't acceptable.

It is also possible for dashdemux to set souphttpsrc to playing and then issue
the seek for the desired range, but this would make it start downloading from 0
until the seek was processed. How can souphttpsrc fetch only a range of bytes
without attempting to start from 0?

Use properties to define the range? Set it to live to prevent producing data in
paused and seek in paused?
