The SEGMENT event and the SEGMENT_START/DONE message have not much to do
with each other. The messages are posted on the bus by the element
driving the pipeline (i.e. usually the demuxer) when you do a SEGMENT
seek (i.e. a seek with the SEGMENT flag), and they are produced instead
of the EOS event and EOS message then.

The SEGMENT event is always generated by elements before the produce
data flow and required for proper synchronisation.
