As far as I can tell from the log, the parser behaves as expected: it
will first try to forward the event upstream as-is to see if upstream
can handle it, and if that fails it will try to convert to a BYTE
position and try again.

The first line seems to indicate that it is actually passing the TIME
format seek upstream. So it seems that doesn't get handle somewhere
(probably either id3demux or your source)
