There is multiple options here. One of the option is to use segment
seeks. Note you need to preroll your pipeline (setting pipeline to pause
and wait for first async done message). With segment seek, you will be
able to seek you pipeline with a stop time that match the point you of
playback you want to be notified. You can update that point by seeking
again, without changing the start time. When this point is reached,
you'll receive a SEGMENT_DONE message. At this point, you will need to
issue a non-flushing seek, to update the new stop position.
