Yes I will come up with a sample and open a new ticket on it. Sometimes it 
hard for me to produce the issues I have in a way that you can see it best.

What program do you use to test the seeking behavior ? MPlayer, ffplay, etc 
? Sometimes the behaviors are best seen when using an app that does actualy 
time seeking based on some slider. I would put up my own app but it's 
currently part of another main app. I will be stripping out the code for 
video and creating a separate test app though.

Thank you very much for your time on this!
