That all seems consistent. Glad the work-around was helpful.

Nope. I don't recall anyone with this particular usecase in the past. 
Players have tended to assume the resource is non-seekable, or 
implemented seek over http.

Doesn't look like it would be too hard to add an ov_reopen() or similar, 
if you're interested in contributing something. I think it would still 
have to be an explicit call before the seek, since it's considerably 
more expensive than a normal seek.

Is the overhead of closing and re-opening the handle significant on android?
