Add position-based seeking independent from seekpoints.

When it comes to FLAC audio files, seeking relies on seekpoints which are
not always present, and even when they are, sometimes it fails. Also, as far
as I can see, xine is unable to play a FLAC stream starting at an arbitrary
position.

Other players (namely mplayer) do not rely on seekpoints when they handle
FLAC files and they don't suffer from these problems.

With this patch, time-based seeking doesn't change, while position-based
seeking is completely independent from seekpoints.
