Sean, thanks for the detailed explanation. I am aware of the technical reasons why scanning (like on a CD player) would not be practical to implement. And I am not expecting from SD to implement it.
However, the need for "jumping" forward and backward in a stream is critical to me. I listen to lots of podcasts (downloaded separately [1]) and audio books (e.g. language courses). And in this case I need to skip backwards a few seconds all the time to listen to a sentence I did not understand again. And here the FW/RW which is available is not suitable. So I wrote a small plugin that offers a function to skip forward or backward a certain amount of time [2] and mapped that function to buttons I don't need otherwise. This works great, apart from the playtime display which gets out of sync and the inaccuracy of the skipping, but that doesn't bother me. Maybe this plugin is helpful for others, too.
