In an audio engine I worked on I had a seek hint like that, to indicate whether the priority was accuracy or speed. It matters even more with video: when seeking with a seek bar, you may want to snap to keyframes, whereas bookmarks, "jump to chapter" features, etc. will often want to jump precisely. A fast seek option would be particularly useful for files with infrequent keyframes. -- Glenn Maynard
