play multiple sources at once, each from a different, position

[Marianna Smidth Buschle]

Out of curiosity, why do you want it in a single pipeline?

If you are just outputting them to their own video sinks why not to just 
have 2 pipelines, so that they don't interact with each other?

Best Regards

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.
