This is strange! It seems VLC shows progress correctly with `cdda://',
but not with `cdda://@1'. But I can't use `cdda://' in Bongo, vlc
quits for some reason. Hm...

I have to assume this is a bug in VLC. Bongo should not have to do
something funky because of this. Do you agree?

I hold `f' down, my usual test. Seems to catch a lot of bugs. :-)

After a while the (visual) progress stalls. But seeking is still going
on in the background.
