Thanks! :-)

What would I do without you?

Oh, I did that on purpose because VLC keeps saying it's at
zero seconds offset when playing a CD.  (In fact, it doesn't
seem to know the offset at all.)

I didn't realize how annoying it would be when using the
visual seeking interface.

Can you think of a workaround?  I guess we could start off
assuming zero means "zero", but if we keep getting zero for
more than a few seconds, assume it means "don't know"?

That would give good results in the normal case but flawed
results in the broken case of playing a CD with VLC ---
which seems reasonable.

You're right.  Thank you, I fixed this.

I can't reproduce this and I'm not sure what you mean.
How does it stall and how you you provoke the stalling?

Good to know.  I'm actually surprised at how well mplayer
seems to react to seeking now.
