[Bug 758642] Suggestion: new SEEKABLE event and/or message

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758642

--- Comment #2 from Carlos Rafael Giani <dv at pseudoterminal.org> ---
Is it 100% guaranteed that as soon as I get a DURATION message I can actually
seek? Isn't it possible that at some point, the duration is known, but the
ability to seek isn't? Example: formats where the duration is stored in the
header, but seeking only works once some sort of seek table is found, which is
placed somewhere beyond the header. If this is streamed over, say, HTTP, it may
happen that the duration is known instantly, but the table isn't.
