That's about what I figured ... and what I was afraid of ;-) Now I've got to figure out how to implement this ... Nobody seems to be big on documentation on little used features ;-)

Speaking for FLAC, I would say use the seek routine provided. Lossless streams can have widely fluctuating bitrates and frame sizes. If you don't choose carefully you might not resync and get audio before seeking again.

As for docs... check the flac 1.0.4 beta; all the APIs are documented via Doxygen. Start with doc/html/api/index.html and go from there.

I'll be able to help a little more after the 1.0.4 release goes out this week.
