play multiple sources at once, each from a different position

[Tomasz Mikolajczyk]

Thank you. Could you tell if something like that is doable in gstreamer
itself?  If yes, could you explain here how to achieve it? I just need to
play two sources together but both starting with different offset. Thank
you in advance.

Inside the probe I wanted to catch the "GST_EVENT_SEEK" event and drop it for the first video. However, it seems that dropping the SEEK message leaves the pipeline in a "PAUSED" state and even an explicit state change to "PLAYING" does nothing.
