[gst-devel] Subject: Likely issue in gst_element_seek() ?

Flag FLUSH means flush all buffers that already have been send, but not yet played.

Unlikely, I would say its because of the big raw buffer on the audiosink and the
use of flush. The arm cpu will take a while to decode new buffers.

The pipeline should use the dspmp4sink on this platform. Firts retry without
FLUSH, 2nd try using dspmp3sink
