If you're using playbin(2), just use gst_element_seek() or
gst_element_seek_simple() to initiate a seek. If things don't work as
expected after that, that's probably a bug of some sort.

(If you have external subtitles, the subparse element (or whatever is
used) may start reading things from the beginning again, but of course
the subtitles matching the video should show up after seek.)
