Maybe using this method is simpler:

gst_element_seek (m_pipeline, 1.0,
      	GST_FORMAT_TIME, GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH | GST_SEEK_FLAG_ACCURATE,
      	GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, start_time,
      	GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, stop_time);

If you want accuracy in the seek, you should use the flag
GST_SEEK_FLAG_ACCURATE. The seek  is slower but much more accurate.
