Thanks for the feedback.  I had put the stream_time variable there
during one of my initial debug versions and forgot to put it back for
clean-up.  I have fixed that and freed the seek_to_sec variable in the
attached revised patch.  I also did a cvs update to get a more recent
baseline.  Please let me know if you have more comments.  Thanks.
