Yes, of course, but I though changing the state to PLAY were enough. Summary:


0.8.2:

wav: it doesn't seek (unhandled event 4 - version 0.8.1, and with 0.8.2 they
don't play at all)

flac: it stays mute until they reach the point it seeked to (returns TRUE).

mp3: same as flac

ogg: it doesn't seek (always return FALSE - no messages).

Yes, two iterations are enough.
