seek slider starts mostly to the right when ogg time stamps do not begin near 0

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When playing an ogg file where the  time stamps do not begin near 0, the
seek slider nonetheless starts its range at 0.  The result is that the
beginning portion of the slider range is useless.  In some cases, that may
be all the usable range, such as in the example I attach.

mplayer doesn't give the information that this stream does not start at time 0. 
So
please reencode the stream to have proper time stamps or have the mplayer 
project fix
this issue.

I see it is an mplayer problem. I'll follow up there.

>So please reencode the stream to have proper time stamps
Seemingly knowledgeable and involved people in #Vorbis insist that these are 
'proper
time stamps'.

Since mplayer does not emit a "ID_START" or equivalent tag, or doesn't subtract 
the
starttime from the endtime to give the length of the media. I must assume this 
file
starts at time 0.00. So the file may be totally accurate, but since I don't 
have the
information needed to properly process this file, I can't fix it. 

Gstreamer does properly handle it and my alternate application 'fosfor' only 
shows a
minute run time.

looks like mplayer will be seeing the correction soon.  i submited a bug report 
and
someone _already_ sent a patch to the mailing list.

Since MPlayer has fixed this, is this still a Won'tFix in Gnome-MPlayer?

Well the display looks weird on the screen due to the time stamps, but in 
reality
there is still really not enough information to fix anything in gnome-mplayer. 
But
with the latest mplayer the seek bar does work properly.
