Well... It is enough with some extra processing. You need to find out the
data bitrate, estimate the seek position in the audio file, resynchronize on
a mpeg frame boundary, back a couple frames, compute the backed frames to
restabilize the mpeg windowing factors without actually playing them then
finally resume audio from the desired frame.
