Awesome!
I'll test it out (eta, beginning of May--sorry for the delay
though...).  Shouldn't be too hard to test since with the current
behavior, say you're at position "1 minute" and you tell it to seek to
"1 minute 0.3 seconds" it can actually sometimes go backwards in time,
so...seeing that not happen will be a relief and a good test.
Thanks much!
