We call it a segment seek, and you have to set the flag.

Yep.

In theory you should be able to seek in integer DEFAULT_UNIT steps,
which would map to frames, but in practice your suggestion is the best.
Alternately you can set the rate to positive or negative, and block the
pipeline in the sink, unblocking when the user steps.

Yep.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
