The demo consisted of a video clip being played (with music) with a similar scroller as Rhythmbox has. Wim Taymans was able to drag it back and forth, even in a very fast way, and the video & sound kept following it really naturally and seemingly real-time. I would say, wait a bit until gst0.9 is here and reassess if this scroller still works problematic?
