           Summary: souphttpsrc: add 'pause-mode' property
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good

     GNOME version: ---


The DLNA CVP-2 spec defines different 'pause' modes regarding the way client
should handle the HTTP connection when being paused:
- stalling pause: keep the connection open and just stop reading from it. When
resuming just resume reading from the connection. This is the current behavior
in souphttpsrc.
- time/range pause: close the HTTP connection when pausing. When resuming
re-establish a new HTTP connection and perform a time or range seek request to
the server.

In order to support this new mode, we need some API controlling the behaviour
of souphttpsrc when pausing.
