You still didn't read my question, I explained the problem above. There
is *no pipeline to seek on* since decodebin only builds it when it goes
to _PAUSED and I want to seek before going to _PAUSED (e.g. in _READY,
as you suggested).

I'm asking for better-defined behaviour because we've always had those
seek flags and we all know what they mean (it's not like gtk-doc
magically makes the world go around, y'know? It just documents that it
does); and yet it never worked...
