Hi
I'm not a developer but I tried to implement ff/slow motion too
some time ago...

Donno what you ment but it sounded like -speed option. The problem is
it is getting slower and slower for ff. I think it is because the
resampling to big values (donno?). IMHO it would be nice to somehow
mute/ignore the sound, increase playback speed with skipping
(not faster fps), unmute/activate and resync the sound again.
iirc it was +- what you proposed just with video. In this case
the problems are: muting/ignoring the sound and resync again.

I thought about this too (-speed -1 ;)) but afaik it's just
possible for keyframes without big hacks, donno....
