For daap, at least, I need to fudge the uri from daap:// to http:// so
the playbin can understand it.  So I think the pre_open (maybe not the
best name) should be responsible for setting a uri to playbin.  Or,
pre_open should pass in char ** for a uri_out variable. I dunno.

A pre_seek (or pre_set_time) that runs in rb_player_set_time between
setting PAUSED & PLAYING on the playbin would be helpful. Its default
handler should be the regular gst_element_seek with time * GST_SECOND
that is already in _set_time.

Looks good so far tho, Jonathan  What do other people think?
