xine fails to report either a duration or the current time at all here - it
shows 00:00 the whole time. The slider progresses at something like the correct
rate... but that's because xine uses the percentage of bytes consumed from the
input stream to report the current position, rather than attempting any
accounting for VBR or discontinuities.
