Thanks for the tip Karl ! Looks like a workaround. I see it goes a bit
"sideways" because it indexes the file and then uses the data for seeking,
but it's better than nothing. Still, it's using 3rd party lib do to the
seeking, because ffmpeg can't (?).

I tested it, but unfortunatelly it's not always mp4. I need
format-independent way of doing frame-accurate seeking.
