What kind of file are you using, which container format? And which
GStreamer version? Until recently there were some bugs related to this.

The procedure in general is to a) first to a FLUSHING|SEGMENT seek to
your start position, then b) whenever you receive the segment-done
message you would do a SEGMENT (non-flushing!) see to the loop start and
c) in the very end for the last loop you do a non-segment, non-flushing
seek for the last loop (so that you get EOS in the end instead of
segment-done).
