I should also mention I know that the av_seek_frame won't seek to the exact
time requested, it's on the packet boundary. I can account for the number of
samples I need to skip to get to the exact time, but when the number of
samples is low (or I try without skipping these samples), the problem of the
silence samples is evident.

This is using the mp3 decoder.
