288 * faster but less accurate.
289 * @GST_SEEK_FLAG_SEGMENT: perform a segment seek.
290 * @GST_SEEK_FLAG_SKIP: when doing fast foward or fast reverse playback, allow
291 * elements to skip frames instead of generating all
292 * frames. Since 0.10.22.
294 * Flags to be used with gst_element_seek() or gst_event_new_seek(). All flags
295 * can be used together.
297 * A non flushing seek might take some time to perform as the currently
298 * playing data in the pipeline will not be cleared.
300 * An accurate seek might be slower for formats that don't have any indexes
301 * or timestamp markers in the stream. Specifying this flag might require a
302 * complete scan of the file in those cases.
304 * When performing a segment seek: after the playback of the segment completes,
305 * no EOS will be emmited by the element that performed the seek, but a
306 * #GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE message will be posted on the bus by the element.
307 * When this message is posted, it is possible to send a new seek event to
308 * continue playback. With this seek method it is possible to perform seemless
309 * looping or simple linear editing.
311 * When doing fast forward (rate > 1.0) or fast reverse (rate < -1.0) trickmode
312 * playback, the @GST_SEEK_FLAG_SKIP flag can be used to instruct decoders
313 * and demuxers to adjust the playback rate by skipping frames. This can improve
314 * performance and decrease CPU usage because not all frames need to be decoded.
316 * Also see part-seeking.txt in the GStreamer design documentation for more
317 * details on the meaning of these flags and the behaviour expected of
