Yep.

  gint64 start_pos, stop_pos;
  if (rate > 0) {
    start_pos = new_pos;
    stop_pos = -1; // or whatever > new_pos
  } else {
    start_pos = 0; // or whatever < new_pos
    stop_pos = new_pos;
  }
  if (!gst_element_seek (pipeline, rate,
        GST_FORMAT_TIME, GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH,
        GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, start_pos,
        GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, stop_pos)) {
    g_message ("Seek failed");
  }

I've only had luck with ogg-vorbis and ogg-theora.
