Ok to summarize here:
a) This patch is fine, it doesn't make sense to compress media streams. It only causes additional load on the server. And due to the size in bytes being not the uncompressed size in bytes, there can be problems with seeking.

b) http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/gstreamer/WebKitWebSourceGStreamer.cpp#L755 is wrong, it should just try to seek and will fail later already if necessary

c) webkitwebsource should tell appsrc and basesrc about the newly observed size whenever it receives a buffer after the reported size and before pushing it to appsrc. Otherwise basesrc will just assume EOS because it's already after the size.
