Hi.

I just wanted to let you know that I have committed a patch to implement  
Gst::Element#seek\_simple method.

A basic seek of the 3rd seconds on a playbin2 element :

position=3000000000  
playbin2.seek\_simple(Gst::Format::Type::TIME,  
Gst::Seek::FLAG\_FLUSH|Gst::Seek::FLAG\_KEY\_UNIT, posistion)
