I've been experiencing problems using rockbox with podcasts for a few weeks now:

* Seeking problems: with some files, going backwards sometimes actually goes further than current position (the first time)

The "first" time? You mean before 0:00? Or before the display time (like, stop seek when time display says 20:00, but playback starts at around 6:00)?

* Progress indicator problems: with some files, the progress indicator is not good at all, giving wrong (shorter) file duration, and then giving a negative remaining time when playing past the indicated duration

If the podcast is in MP3 format, it could be because the file contains somewhat bad data; not enough to prevent playback, but enough to fool the time display in Rockbox.

* Some files can't be played at all (but work well with winamp).

I'm using daily builds, on the iPod video.

Are these known problems?

Maybe. :) For really large files (at least more than 30 MB) there could be seeking problems...

I'm willing to put problematic files on a public server for you to analyse if needed, tell me.

Please do - but I might not be able to look at it right away. Or maybe you could just point to the podcasts in question.
