Hm, not really.

If your network-connection is fast enuf (mine is not), it might behave like 
seeking, but it is not a seeking, it just throws away the data until the skip-
position. So seeking is quite slow and only works in advance direction.

Real seeking - at least as I understand it - would issue a new GET command 
with a range header. That "seeking" would work in both directions and is used 
by dlna and the like.

I implemented the server side and I am willing to implement the client side 
too, but I need some helping hand, as I don't understand enuf of ffmegs IO-
layer.
