+The first offset (`start`) is the new position to seek to, while the second
+offset (`stop`) is optional and specifies a position where streaming is
+supposed to stop. Usually it is fine to just specify `GST_SEEK_TYPE_NONE`
+as `stop_type` and `GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE` as `stop` offset.
+
+In case of reverse playback (`rate` < 0) the meaning of `start` and `stop` is
+reversed and `stop` is the position to seek to.
+
+The behaviour of a seek is also wrapped in the `gst_element_seek()` and
+`gst_element_seek_simple()` and you would usually use those functions to
+initiate a seek on a pipeline.
