Original commit message from CVS:
* docs/gst/gstreamer-docs.sgml:  I got tired of the reference
manual being such complete crap, that I decided to do major
hacking of it.  This checkin replaces any fine tuning that
may have been done previously, with the benefit of actually
being complete for much of the API that was changed since
0.6.  Further fine tuning will occur shortly.  (bug #134721)

<!-- ##### ENUM GstSeekType ##### -->
<para>
The different types of seek events. When constructing a seek event a format,
a seek method and optional flags are OR-ed together. The seek event is then
inserted into the graph with #gst_pad_send_event() or #gst_element_send_event().
<informalexample>
Following example illustrates how to insert a seek event (1 second in the stream)
in a pipeline.
<programlisting>
gboolean res;
GstEvent *event;
event = gst_event_new_seek (
GST_FORMAT_TIME | /* seek on time */
GST_SEEK_METHOD_SET | /* set the absolute position */
GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH, /* flush any pending data */
1 * GST_SECOND); /* the seek offset (1 second) */
res = gst_element_send_event (GST_ELEMENT (osssink), event);
if (!res) {
g_warning ("seek failed");
}
</programlisting>
</informalexample>
</para>
@GST_SEEK_METHOD_CUR: Seek to an relative position
@GST_SEEK_METHOD_SET: Seek to an absolute position
@GST_SEEK_METHOD_END: Seek relative to the end of the stream
@GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH: Flush any pending data while seeking
