best way to start playback at 01:22, playback rate 1.3x?

[Dan]

Hi all,

I'm currently using Playbin2 0.10 (with PyGST, but that shouldn't
matter). What's the best way to specify the playback starting position
and playback rate for a new video?

I'm currently issuing a seek "as soon as I get the chance" (i.e. when
I get a GST_MESSAGE_STATE_CHANGED / PLAYING, since I've seen some bugs
with seeking while PAUSED). I bet there's a more elegant way to do
this though.
