It plays just fine for me (and I'm glad to have *finally* fixed the
problems I had with compiling ffmpeg); there's a spew of messages when I
seek, but they appear more informational than error-y, and there don't
seem to be any problems with the playback in any case. Whether or not
there are any problems in the header I can't say, but if so they don't
seem to be affecting playback or seeking any.

And may I say how amazingly cool it feels to be playing a NUT? Though
I'd suggest giving libavformat a higher priority than the XMMS plugins
in the chain of demuxers to fall back on.
