The segment contains the newly configured playback segment after the
seek. The last_stop field contains the stream time (value between 0 and
the duration) where your source should seek to. If you can only
approximately seek to that requested position, you can modify last_stop
to where the seek really went to.

Your source does never decide to seek 15 seconds forwards or backwards,
that decision is made by the application.
