I suffer from the same problem, but i noticed that some mp3's can be seeked while other can't be.
Seekable: $ mp3info -x tempest-vtyyli.mp3 tempest-vtyyli.mp3 does not have an ID3 1.x tag.

Could gstreamer have problem with files encoded with some old mp3 encoder? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742335 Title: Totem : impossible to move cursor on MP3 files (Natty) -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
