[theora-dev] Seek issue in cortado player

[Nigel Simpson]

I know of a bunch of developers and students who might be available to  
help out. I figure this issue needs Cortado experts rather than lots  
of developers, though. If that's not the case and you need some help,  
I can send some people to the project.
