Program to perform a seek on a given URI after 10 seconds

When using gst-player to play a flac track from an http server, seeks take a
very long time (10s of seconds upwards). This is not seen when playing from a
file.

This behaviour is a regression from 1.10.5. Reverting
adeee44b07a173b9ab4253216caba8f66dd43abb (fix for bug 727802) makes seeking
work in a more timely fashion again.

A simple program using gst-player to play a URI and perform a seek after 10
seconds is attached. The file I've been testing with can be downloaded from
