This is too fast. The play call succeeds before the lenght
is known. A seek is only possible, after you have the length.
Reason: decoding runs in a seperate thread.
(We really need a unthreaded mp3 decoder,any volunteers?)

I think if you use the SplayPlayBject you wont have
this problem.

Possible solution for you:

// poll until length is known
while(player->status() != eof()){
 if (player->length() > 0) break;
 sleep(1);
}
// seek here
