Seeking will cause discontinuity of the FLV stream. While this won't 
affect a raw video sink, it will most likely affect a receiving RTMP 
server. I see two solution to that, handle seeks in the flvmux element, 
so the created muxed isn't affected (seems like ideal), or figure-out 
how to comunicate such a break in timestamp within RTMP 
protocol/librtmp. I think the first would be nicer. Note that you should 
probably not let the EOS reach the sink, certain sink would close the 
connection, though it does not seem to be the case for rtmpsink. My 
conclusion is that this needs some work on the GStreamer elements itself.
