this seek error is confusing and appears to be wrong

[Andres Gonzalez]

Hi,

I have been trying all sorts of various combinations of enum values in
calling gst_element_seek() and still cannot get this to work.

Using the follow to do a seek:

    gst_element_seek_simple(pGstPipeline, GST_FORMAT_TIME,
GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH,  5*GST_SECOND);

which fails with the following logs:

ERROR: fileSeek(): gst_element_seek_simple() failed
ERROR: GstBus msg from GstElement                    : qtdemux1
ERROR:     : error: This file is invalid and cannot be played.

Not sure how much simpler the GStreamer seek API could be so I think if
gst_element_seek_simple() fails, then the problem must be in the pipeline. 

Question: are there any specific properties in filesrc or decodebin that
have to be set so the pipeline will support seeking? The pipeline plays
perfectly otherwise so I am not sure what is causing this.
