Native FLAC is not perfect, but it is good enough for relatively fast
and reliable seeking. However, implementation in 1.1.0 is buggy.

Try CVS version, maybe it will be better, i have seen there some
changes. If that doesn't help, search for my patch in archives, it was
mainly about speed of seeking (and making SEEKTABLE block redundant),
but i remember it helped also in reliability.

If that doesn't help at all, post here your code which is causing
problems, and i will try to make a patch.
