It would be more fair to compare against latest GStreamer of course. Now, it's
likely ffmpeg seeking is more efficient, but before jumping to conclusion, you
have to make sure you compare apple-to-apple. GStreamer provides a multitude of
seek operations, which yield different speeds. gst-play-1.0 is using
GST_SEEK_FLAG_ACCURATE, which is one of the slowest, but also one which will
vary in performance considering how far from a keyframe you seek. It will also
be affected by how the stream was encoded, like the distance between keyframes.
