That's a combination of problems in RealAudio and mplayer's structure
imho. First, RealAudio knows key frames and non-keyframes just like
video in general. You cannot start decoding RealAudio from every packet
on. Second, mplayer cannot discard the _decoded_ contents up to a
specific timestamp/frame (which would also be required for
frame-accurate start pos etc.), so you just have to live with it.

(You might be lucky from time to time when audio and video key frames
are really close together.)
