They use Revision 6351 (in mythtv-svn which i am using). They often make a 
sync with ffmpeg, but that doesnt matter because I tried ffplay revision 6934 
and seeking doesnt work. If it would work, I would ask the developpers of 
mythtv to make a new sync.

Thats was my personal workaround but my wife is complaining that watching 
videos is not similar to watchin TV. (Menu, Information, seeking, switching 
Subtitles and audio-Language and so on)
