I'm not sure about the behavior of 'seek' when the file is streamed from the internet and not locally. it seems that it is only capable of doing so if the period (in sec) is within the cache i.e. it cannot seek to any point in the file unless it is played at least once. is it correct? in some players e.g. RealPlayer you can stream to any point from the URL and the playing will start immediately without the need to download the whole file locally at the beginning.
