What happens to the current segment after seek in the playbin2?

[wl2776]

I have the following code, which queries the current segment, issues a seek and queries the current segment again.

m_player is the playbin2, it has loaded the MPEG2-PS file, and it was turned to the reverse playback before this code.

GstQuery *query=gst_query_new_segment(GST_FORMAT_TIME);
gst_element_query(GST_ELEMENT(m_player),query);

gdouble rate;
GstFormat fmt;
gint64 start=-1,stop=-1;
gst_query_parse_segment(query,&rate,&fmt,&start,&stop);
GST_DEBUG("segment before seek: rate %f fmt %d start %"G_GINT64_FORMAT
                          " stop %"G_GINT64_FORMAT", direction %d",rate,fmt,start,stop,m_direction);
gst_query_unref(query);

GST_DEBUG("current_position = %"G_GINT64_FORMAT, m_current_position);
if(!gst_element_seek(m_player,1.0,GST_FORMAT_TIME,
                                 (GstSeekFlags)(GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH|GST_SEEK_FLAG_ACCURATE),
                                 GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET,m_current_position,
                                 GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET,m_stream_duration))
       GST_DEBUG("seek failed");

query=gst_query_new_segment(GST_FORMAT_TIME);
gst_element_query(GST_ELEMENT(m_player),query);
gst_query_parse_segment(query,&rate,&fmt,&start,&stop);
GST_DEBUG("segment after seek: rate %f fmt %d start %"G_GINT64_FORMAT
                         " stop %"G_GINT64_FORMAT", direction %d",rate,fmt,start,stop,m_direction);
gst_query_unref(query);

The relevant code of the bus-watch:

case GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_DONE:{
    GST_DEBUG("message %s(%d) from %s",GST_MESSAGE_TYPE_NAME(msg),
                                      GST_MESSAGE_TYPE(msg),GST_MESSAGE_SRC_NAME(msg));
    GstFormat fmt=GST_FORMAT_TIME;

    gst_element_query_position(m_player,&fmt,&m_current_position);
    GST_DEBUG("current player position %dms",GST_TIME_AS_MSECONDS(m_current_position));

    GstQuery *query=gst_query_new_segment(GST_FORMAT_TIME);
    gst_element_query(GST_ELEMENT(m_player),query);
    gdouble rate;
    gint64 start=-1,stop=-1;
    gst_query_parse_segment(query,&rate,&fmt,&start,&stop);
    GST_DEBUG("current segment: rate %lf fmt %d start %"G_GINT64_FORMAT
                           " stop %"G_GINT64_FORMAT" direction %d",rate,fmt,start,stop,m_direction);
    gst_query_unref(query);
}
break;

I observe the following debug output (few first columns are omitted for brevity)

DEBUG                 player gst_player.cpp:800:gst_player::play: segment before seek: rate -1.000000 fmt 3 start 0 stop 450054800000, direction -1

I've read in the documentation, that the current playing segment is configured with the seek.
Why doesn't the playback direction change after the seek?

And again, I observe the jump in frames.
The m_player was paused and stepping frames backwards before the code above was called.
However, when the m_player is put to playing, it plays from the frame where it was paused or even some frames after it.
The impression is like the framestepping was in both directions. Frames stepped back were shown, but the beginning of the playing segment was shifted to the end of file by the same amount of frames.
