I think it should just setup a time value which get's handled on next
call to dvdnav_get_next_cache_block(). Imho it doesn't need to setup
state anywhere closer than the closest tmap before requested time,
then on next read after NAV packet have been parsed, do the more exact
block jump.

But as i said, can be looked at later as long as API doesn't need to be changed.
