If you mean 'for how long the pipeline has been in the playing state'
then you can use gst_element_get_start_time() on the pipeline, which
gives you the running_time of when the pipeline was last paused. If you
set a pipeline to NULL and then get the start_time, you will get the
total amount of time spent in the playing state.

Note however that this time resets to 0 after a flushing seek.
