For example, a pipeline with a demux and an audio path and a video one, you will get two seek requests at the demux (at least that's what I have seen happen ), how do you handle these two requests?

The seek is sent to all sinks. You can detect the duplicate seek events 
in the demuxer by checking the sequence number in the event.

Playbin and playbin2 only send the seek event to one sink because it 
knows that both streams are eventually linked to a demuxer.
