More playing - it's not just aac. I tried with some generated files and
it's reproduceable with those if long enough.

Noticed some wierds with aac encoder on the way.

ffm -f lavfi -i "sine=frequency=800:duration=7200" -c:a aac -b:a 320k 
test.aac

works and produces seek issue but is very slow - speed = 4x and not 320k.

Omitting the -b:a 320k speed is 24x, still slowish.

Try above with both aac replaced by ac3 speed= 456x bitrate is 320k but 
no seek issue.

Repeat ac3 with duration=14400 and the seek issue is there.
