Hi Gabriel,
thanks for your answer.
I guess my previous message was not very clear, since I actually meant to say 
something different.
By timeshifting I mean the possibility to record a live program (e.g. a DVB 
program) to a storage device, for playing it when the user wants, even if the 
recording is not complete yet.
For example you may want to pause a live program, enable the recording and 
resume the viewing, from the point where the program has been paused, without 
losing any scene and also allowing seeking.
Such a feature is available nowadays in many player (e.g. Kaffeine), but not in 
Totem since not supported by GStreamer.

I hope it's clearer now.

Thanks,
Silvio
