That would be a server/ web-interface error. The server knows exactly
what is played (as it told SqueezePlayer "please start this stream".
This is regardless of the player type. The only thing that *could* get
out of sync is the progress bar, as SqueezePlayer constantly tells the
server "hey I played 5 seconds already". But this is just a theoretical
discussion.

I thought a long time about providing an interface as well. In the end
I decided against it. With so many good Apps around already (Logitech,
SqueezeCommander, SqueezeControl, Squidget) that are written for
totally different types of users, it would be very hard to compete
against them.
I think I would rather have annoyed users with my own simple interface,
so decided that it's much better to let the user decide what is
preferred way of controlling his players would be (at the cost of a
simple click).
