Get current downloaded size

[Damián Nohales]

Hi Tim,

I'm not sure if I understand you, maybe I explained badly.
Doing a position query to the Pipeline is the same to do it to the
PlayBin2, right? since a PlayBin2 is a Pipeline because inheritance.
But doing a position query to the PlayBin2 will returns me the current
playback position, witch that I need is the current downloaded size or time.

Well... for simplicity I need the time since the range on a Scale widget
in the application is setted from 0 to n seconds of song duration, then
I need to fill the scale with the amount of downloaded time (like
YouTube or another media player). But I guess that if I play with the
downloaded size I can get the time.

Thanks for the answer!
Regards!
