--- Comment #6 from Edward Hervey <bilboed at bilboed.com> ---
the duration isn't something reliable. You could very well have a "live" stream
with a duration but which isn't seekable.

We already have a query to figure out if something is seekable (the SEEKING
QUERY). The problem is figuring out the "reliable" time when to do that.

The reliable time is when the parse/demuxer has enough information. The nice
side effect of the new streams API is that the stream collection *is* posted on
the bus by such elements when they have enough information. So you can do your
seeking query at that time and the resulting seekable flag value will be the
correct one.

Can we close this then ?
