there's a new comment on the upstream bug tracker: "If you use the latest GStreamer core, this should make it possible to seek whilst the video is being downloaded, even when it's the browser doing the streaming. Still nowhere near as good as using appsrc, but a nifty hack nonetheless.
commit 9c487aff7017df24aa2f8b22e69b9c599725e4f3 Author: Bastien Nocera <had...@hadess.net> Date: Fri Apr 9 14:56:30 2010 +0100 Split setting up and opening browser streams Wait until we have the browser stream set up before opening stdin in the browser, which means we might have a chance to get the stream size. With recent GStreamer changes, this means that download buffering would work, and that we'd get download progress and seeking without needing to wait until the end of the download.
