 * gst_element_seek_simple
 * @element: a #GstElement to seek on
 * @format: a #GstFormat to execute the seek in, such as #GST_FORMAT_TIME
 * @seek_flags: seek options; playback applications will usually want to use
 *            GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH | GST_SEEK_FLAG_KEY_UNIT here
 * @seek_pos: position to seek to (relative to the start); if you are doing
 *            a seek in #GST_FORMAT_TIME this value is in nanoseconds -
 *            multiply with #GST_SECOND to convert seconds to nanoseconds or
 *            with #GST_MSECOND to convert milliseconds to nanoseconds.
 *
 * Simple API to perform a seek on the given element, meaning it just seeks
 * to the given position relative to the start of the stream. For more complex
 * operations like segment seeks (e.g. for looping) or changing the playback
 * rate or seeking relative to the last configured playback segment you should
 * use gst_element_seek().
 *
 * In a completely prerolled PAUSED or PLAYING pipeline, seeking is always
 * guaranteed to return %TRUE on a seekable media type or %FALSE when the media
 * type is certainly not seekable (such as a live stream).
 *
 * Some elements allow for seeking in the READY state, in this
 * case they will store the seek event and execute it when they are put to
 * PAUSED. If the element supports seek in READY, it will always return %TRUE when
 * it receives the event in the READY state.
 *
 * Returns: %TRUE if the seek operation succeeded (the seek might not always be
 * executed instantly though)
 *
 * Since: 0.10.7

 * have the same callback signature as the #GstPad::have-data signal.
 * Note that the data will have a reference count greater than 1, so it will
 * be immutable -- you must not change it.
 *
 * For source pads, the probe will be called after the blocking function, if any
 * (see gst_pad_set_blocked_async()), but before looking up the peer to chain
 * to. For sink pads, the probe function will be called before configuring the
 * sink with new caps, if any, and before calling the pad's chain function.
 *
 * Your data probe should return TRUE to let the data continue to flow, or FALSE
 * to drop it. Dropping data is rarely useful, but occasionally comes in handy
 * with events.
 *
 * Although probes are implemented internally by connecting @handler to the
 * have-data signal on the pad, if you want to remove a probe it is insufficient
 * to only call g_signal_handler_disconnect on the returned handler id. To
 * remove a probe, use the appropriate function, such as
