Okay, so I think the problem is with seek and it happens with .wma files 
but not with .wav or .mp3. That is, if I'm playing an .wma file and I 
seek to a particular timestamp it actually seeks to somewhere earlier in 
the file. The timestamp returned by get_time_pos then accurately 
represents where it seeked to. The difference between where I asked it 
to seek and where it actually went gets larger the farther I am into the 
file. This does not happen, as I say, with .wav or .mp3 files.

How do I tell which demuxer it's using?
