[Clam-devel] Ogg seeking

[Pau Arumí Albó]

David, are you sure that refactoring and enriching
Mono/MultiChannelFilePlayer is worth the efford, compared to keep
SndfilePlayer evolving (and changing its name)? 
The latest was ment to be a replacement using a much simpler approach.
Anyway, lets talk about it at the office.
