using an external mp3 audiofile with a video file and seeking, causes the video to seek, but the audiofile to start at the beginning. this seeking works fine with a wav file i tested with, but not mp3 please confirm and fix :) mplayer file.avi -audiofile file.mp3 , then use the seek buttons, also using -ss will start audio at beginning mplayer file.avi -ss 00:01:00 -audiofile file.mp3
