Good point. I didn't implement it yet because it's hard to get right with MPRIS (the D-Bus protocol we use to talk to media players). Players do provide a Seek() method, but no way to put them into a seeking state. That means, it would continue playing while the previous or next button is pressed and then jump to the new position after the button is released.
